Liberia is the capital of the Guanacaste province in Costa Rica. The city centre features a modern-style church, as many Costa Rican towns do, facing a plaza surrounded by locally-owned shops and restaurants. Liberia is also home to an expo that takes place in the month of July, celebrating the Annexation of Guanacaste on 25th July, 1824. Tourists may find their way to Liberia en route to such beaches as Playa del Coco or Playa Hermosa, though most will only grab a bite to eat at one of the American fast food restaurants in the food mall located at the city's main crossroads and continue on their way. Others may prefer the 24-hour Subway sandwich shop located just down the road.
