Where to stay in Jara
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
A stadium is the fixed point here. The Estadio León Condou stands inside Jara, which gives a stay in this barrio of Asunción a reason beyond the bed itself, provided the calendar of the ground matters to the traveller. Everything else is city business, filed under Asunción rather than under Jara.
If you want an address pinned to the Estadio León Condou and a quiet street off it, this barrio works.

About Jara
What are the main landmarks in Jara?
One entry stands to this barrio's name: the Estadio León Condou, the ground that gives Jara its single listed structure and the only fixed destination inside its streets. There is no second entry. Whatever else draws visitors to Asunción belongs to other barrios, so a walking day that starts in Jara begins by leaving it.
What is the history of Jara?
The name comes from a landowner. Juan Antonio Jara, a vice president of the 19th century, owned most of the land the barrio covers, and it is his surname that the record kept for it. His surname survived, but no founding year did.
Asunción supplies the rest of the story, and Jara's own entry runs from a landowner's name to a stadium, the Estadio León Condou, with little between the two.
Where is Jara?
Within Asunción, in Paraguay, Jara covers ground that Juan Antonio Jara once owned, and the Estadio León Condou stands on part of it.
