Zocalo (Plaza Alvarez), Acapulco (must see)

Zocalo is a charming plaza, situated on Costera Miguel Aleman Avenue. The plaza is shaded, thanks to a plethora of multi-branched trees and plants. Zocalo is the town's main public square and attracts both locals and tourists. Acapulco’s Cathedral is located on the plaza along with a couple of nice fountains, as well as crafts and souvenir shops.

Why You Should Visit:
Traditional, beautiful, with excellent atmosphere; not necessarily the definitive classic party & clubbing hotspot but still fun.
Good place to take snapshots, buy souvenirs, try out shops and restaurants or just sit and people-watch.
Friday evenings from 6-8pm there is a live orchestra with ballroom dancing and the cutest elderly dancers around.

Tip:
Don't forget to visit the boardwalk!
