At the second place on our list of best places to retire in Costa Rica we have Alajuela that is Costa Rica’s second most populous city, but it isn’t a place where you can see a lot. There are no breathtaking buildings, historical landmarks or something similar. Still, the city has a traditional Costa Rican feel to it and is the place where you can lead a comfortable and affordable living, using it as a base for further exploration of the country.
