Plaza Álvarez, Main square in Acapulco, Mexico

The central plaza features multiple trees providing natural cover, with Acapulco Cathedral positioned at its center displaying detailed architectural elements.

The plaza development transformed the urban landscape of Acapulco during the colonial period, establishing a central gathering space for the growing port city.

Every Friday evening from 6 to 8 PM, local orchestras perform at the plaza while residents participate in ballroom dancing events.

Visitors can find numerous craft shops surrounding the plaza, offering locally produced artworks and traditional Mexican handicrafts throughout the day.

The plaza incorporates several fountains across its grounds, creating water features that complement the architectural elements of the cathedral.
