I live in one of the most expensive cities in my country (Chile), it has a lot of ancient history about a civil war that happened hundred years ago with the peruvians, landscapes are nice, it's desert and sea alltogether, we also have ruins from an old silver foundry plant, al a monument which was made from the sea erosion thousands of years ago.
Rock scene, pretty moved, many bands playing on weekends, some of them good, some not of course, bands from other cities come here to play, next concert in my city will be HAIL in january.
Also is a mining city, we produce the most amount of cooper in the country to export.
I like the city although is very expensive.
here are some pics:
