This ethnographic observation exercise is a first recognition of Abancay Avenueas an urban space of practices and social communication. It seeks to understandthe relationship that subjects build among themselves and with their  environment. It starts out wondering who are the pedestrians of Abancay Avenue today? What social practices do those pedestrians set up today in there? What forms of communication do these pedestrians establish with each other? Positioning itself from the perspective of the territory as vital space, the author is placed like idle observer that wanders by the avenue. The results point to it as a practiced place that communicates from the combined action of its actors and the  social practices that they develop in it. Abancay Avenue is a cultural space where social life is articulated dialectically and daily, fostering horizontal dialogue, where modernity coexists with tradition, allowing it to be individualized, recognized and therefore continue to exist.
