Introducing Concepción
Industry, convenient energy resources, port facilities and universities have combined to make Concepción the second most important city in Chile after Santiago. Concepción is not a particularly scenic city, but it has an infectious hustle and bustle, and there are pleasant plazas, pedestrian malls and galerías (shopping malls). The nightlife is also rocking, a result of the town's large student population.
The inhabitants of Concepción are known as Penquistas after the city's original site at the nearby town of Penco.
