The canton covers an area of 8.15 km²,〔Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN), 2001.〕 and has a population of 76,815.〔Estimates of Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos (INEC), May 2003.〕 The capital city of the canton is San Juan. The canton forms a northern suburb of the national capital city of San José. It is triangular in shape, with the Río Virilla as its northern boundary. The Quebrada Rivera, a canyon, establishes the southwestern limit of the canton and also a portion of the southeastern boundary. Tibás was meant to be the capital of the country, at least according to expresident Braulio Carrillo, this is the reason the town was originally designed with such a neat array of perfectly aligned blocks, cut by the streets running from North to South and the avenues from East to West. Tibás includes both industrial and residential neighborhoods and is home of a popular football team in Costa Rica, Deportivo Saprissa and its stadium Estadio Ricardo Saprissa. The current mayor is Jorge Salas Bonilla from the center-leftist Citizen Action Party. ==Districts== The canton of Tibás is subdivided into five districts (''distritos''): # San Juan # Cinco Esquinas # Anselmo Llorente # León XIII # Colima 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tibás」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
