This paper is an exercise on the ethnographic interpretation of the “paseode olla”, an urban practice observed at a traditional park in Bogotá, the “Parque Nacional Enrique Olaya Herrera”. The text combines ethnographic descriptions and reflections about the urban public space as well as socio-spatial analyses of human interaction. The text emphasizes in the importance of space practices analyses as forms of culture materialization in urban contexts. It also shows the persistence of the family in contemporary urban practices.
