Mayagüez Pueblo is the city's old civic heart, centred on the plaza, Roman Catholic church, and municipal buildings. The area still follows the Spanish colonial pattern in which the square served as the place for ceremonies, markets, and public life.
Park nearby and walk rather than driving around the blocks. The value is in the whole ensemble: shaded plaza, public buildings, street life, and the short distances between several of Mayagüez's best historic stops.
