Neat Plaza

You have to thread through a few backstreets from the train station to find this Plaza. It's a small space, compared to some towns, but surrounded by the usual civic buildings and shops. There's also free WiFi here and a Tourist Information office. From here...More

Party Plaza

During the day it was bustling and enjoyable and at night it was the same! Not rowdy but a great social place! The restaurants around have good views and I don’t feel like they’re more expensive than the ones outside of the plaza.

Cool little city plaza

Neat little town. Lots of shops and restaurants. Easy walking and lovely views of the river and mountains in the background.

Beatiful place

This square (Plaza) is very nice and with a lot of restaurants, cafes and kiosques around. It´s always full of tourists and locals trying to get you into the restaurant. The restaurants aren´t the best in town. All the people are friendly

Fun to visit

Stop by to take pictures with the sign, take a seat on a bench and enjoy the sun. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes around to grab a beverage or a bite. The tin is very small so I am sure you will end...More

Interesting place to people watch

Cute little town square. Great place to people watch. Some of the businesses get irritating when you walk by and they try to get you inside. I recommend searching on Tripadvisor for places to eat...because the majority in the square are not all that good....More
