Parque Central

Fodor's Review:

Royal palms and massive mango trees fill the Parque Central, which also has a lovely fountain imported from Glasgow and concrete benches where locals gather to chat. Surrounding the plaza is an odd mix of charming old buildings and sterile concrete boxes, including a somewhat incongruous McDonald's.
