This is a kiosko, a corner store, where one can normally buy soda, candy, cigarettes, and phone cards. Here, however, you can see that they are getting ready for Christmas, so there is a table full of fireworks out front. On Christmas eve, everyone gets together with their families, eats a giant meal, toasts at midnight, then goes out to light things on fire. It doesn't quite compare with the quantities we saw in Taiwan, but they clearly still love their "artificial fires" (as they're known in Spanish) down here!
