Residential developments are popping up all over the area as well as continued demand for older established communities such as Villa Real where high-end large luxury homes are plenty and command top dollar. There are many condominium complexes throughout Santa Ana in the valley areas and "eco-developments" in the mountains. The residents of these communities are mainly comprised of young to middle-aged professionals that demand stable, fast connections which translate to superior internet and is a prerequisite that developers have to provide to the population that lives there.

However, the quaint Santa Ana still exists with its traditional home-style restaurants, parades, fiestas and farmers markets. Enjoy a traditional "Casado" at La Cabaña de Don Manuel or a coffee-roasted chicken at Pollos Malé. Dine in the extravagance of Doris Metropolitan, enjoying an exceptional "dry age" steak, or at Andiamo Lá with high Italian cuisine. And of course, the franchise chain restaurants such as McDonald's, Carl's Jr., Rosti Pollo, Applebee's, Taco Bell, and Subway are here, just to name a few. There is a wide selection of restaurants with trendy offerings, fast food and "típico" fare. Just about every restaurant in the area offers free internet to their customers, so having a company that can supply faster, better and stronger internet is a big plus.
You can visit the churches dating back to 1880, the seasonal markets, fairs, parks, and the traditional artisanal pottery and ceramics community. The artisan fair brings out many talented artists, painters, sculptors, woodworkers and traditional folkloric dances and dishes prepared onsite. Santa Ana has long been known for its onions and the onion fair celebrates that with similar offerings. All of these fairs have entertainment for children and adults alike and spotlight the contributors in the area. Amongst all of this, the area still has equestrian centers and a traditional "tope" or horse parade at least once a year. This is where you come to enjoy the high-stepping horses, food and drink and fun! The weekly agricultural farmers' market is in the center of Santa Ana as most of these activities are located. This Sunday market has a large number of local farmers selling produce including local fruits and vegetables, chicken, beef, pork, fish, and seafood. Also offered are fresh dairy products and some arts and crafts, baked goods, potted plants, and tropical fish.
In November of 2018, both the Bank of Costa Rica (BCR) and Banco Nacional de Costa Rica (BNCR) offered an alternative to paying cash at the market through their electronic payment system which is facilitated online through the national online banking system, SINPE. This new payment method represents a great convenience to the consumer and a benefit to the seller in tracking their sales.
The Municipality of Santa Ana launched a certification of sustainable agricultural practices that assures consumers of local products are cultivated under sustainable food safety standards. To date, 11 farming families are preparing to receive the seal for their "green" products.
The center of Santa Ana just completed a new community recreation / sports park in front of the church in November 2018. Previously a soccer field and a seasonal site for amusement fairs, it now has a basketball court, soccer field, bleachers, running track, area for vendors, green area, and fountains. There is also a rest area with shade trees and a children’s playground amongst other amenities. This facility is also wheelchair accessible, providing a central meeting place and recreational area for young and old alike and is a welcome addition to the community.
Another attraction that draws a lot of attention is located high above Santa Ana in the mountains. Many people visit the area for a place to picnic and enjoy the fabulous view of the entire Central Valley. Sometimes you are literally in the clouds. But there's something else that makes this place unique. It is Los Eólicas or the windmill farm/park that generates a significant energy saving which is fed back into the electrical grid. The data collected from these windmills is sent to a central computer which monitors and controls all aspects of their operation using internet. Internet via 1:1 International Fiber Optics is paramount in this situation.
The past meets the present in Santa Ana. Once a quaint farming community and a recreational destination, it is evolving into a sought-after location for mid to large size corporations and medium to high-end consumers while staying within a small distance from downtown San José and an hour and 15-minute drive to the beach.
All of this allows this western central valley town to maintain its traditional culture and charm while taking advantage of the fastest, most reliable internet in Santa Ana, Costa Rica provided by iTellum.
