La Crucecita

Fodor's Review:

La Crucecita, off Carretera 200, is the place in Huatulco that most closely resembles a real Mexican town. Its central plaza has a church whose interior is covered with naive frescoes; on the ceiling is a fresco of what locals claim is the largest Madonna in the world. You can dine, hang out at a bar or sidewalk café, and browse in boutiques. You'll also find a bank, bus station, and Internet cafés here.
