The malecon (seaside boardwalk)
Stretching northward a long the ocean, from the open air theater known as Los Arcos (The Arches) across the steet from Palacio Municipal (City Hall) all the way to McDonald´s, this expansive side walk provides the perfect spot for an early morning joy or a late night romantic stroll. Let the fresh ocean air and artistic sculptures invigorate your soul, while you snap souvenir photos, or just sit back and soak up the ambiace. Cultural and musical events are often hosted at Los Arcos, or across ths street in the Central Plaza. In the evenings you can see the Marigalante, an authentic replica of Christopher Columbus galleon, the Santa Maria, shooting fireworks from her bow.

Walking tours
A delightful way to get some exercise, while seeing some memorable architecture, not to mention fantastic views of the city, is to hike through the narrow winding streets of the area affectionately known as Gringo Gulch. From there you can catch a rar perspective of the beautiful Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. Most of the unique stucco home are better known bytheir name, thanby their street numbers. It was here that Richard Burton bought the famous Casa Kimberly for Elizabeth Taylor and himself, which is actually two villa djoined by a foot bridge over the steet. Start with a tour of the Palacio Municipal (City Hall), then head straight up Zaragoza street and you´re there. If you prefer, join one of the daily guided tours.
