¿Qué pasa con "a la par"? At the same time.
En Costa Rica "a la par" next to. Mi casa es blanca y a la par una casa azul.
"A la misma ves" at the same time.
¿Son unos dichos Tico solamente o otros usan esos también?
Gracias.

Gracias. "Cheek by jowl" may be one of the figures you are after. - EugenioCosta, Jun 20, 2013
Gracias, el dic solamente tiene "at the same time" nada más. - 00551866, Jun 20, 2013

De nada Andre. - chileno, Jun 20, 2013
Come to think of it, would "head to head" describes that "Cheeck by jowl"? - chileno, Jun 20, 2013
No hay de que, chileno, y gracias otra vez. "Head to head" tends to have an undertone of confrontation in most instances, and tête-à-tête has more the sense of intimacy, but not always. How strong is the "lado" aspect of a la par? - EugenioCosta, Jun 20, 2013

That must be in CR and some other places. In Colombia you'll never hear a la par to refer to location .

Seems it's pretty universal. (in the Spanish speaking world I mean jeje)
