Malecón Veracruz Puerto, Waterfront promenade and museum in Veracruz, Mexico
The 800-meter waterfront extends along the Gulf of Mexico, featuring the 54-meter PEMEX Tower and the 52-meter Venustiano Carranza Lighthouse point.
Hernan Cortes established Villa Rica de la Veracruz on Good Friday in 1519, developing it into Mexico's primary port for goods and passenger transport.
The Gran Cafe de la Parroquia, established over 200 years ago, serves traditional lechero coffee and regional bread along the promenade.
Boat tours departing from the waterfront last 50 minutes and visit five different locations throughout the Port of Veracruz.
The 2014 monument commemorates the naval cadets who defended Veracruz during the 1914 battle against North American forces.
