The real heartbeat of Acapulco is also the main street, Avenida Costera Miguel Aleman, known locally as just "The Costera". If you are going almost anywhere in your next Acapulco vacations, you will most likely travel down the Costera. Most of Acapulco's major attractions are either on or very close to this busy street. The action along the Costera is varied and constant where you can do some serious people watching. The zocalo or town square is a peaceful area, shaded by giant rubber and mango trees, near the hectic center of Acapulco. The zocalo is lined with ice cream stands and sidewalk cafes. Here you can mingle with the locals as they go about their everyday business, a lifestyle that hasn't changed much in years. On one end of the zocalo is the Cathedral, which was built in 1930 for a movie set. Acapulco's history even has its share of pirate stories to boot. For those stories, go to the Fuerte de San Diego, several blocks south of the zocalo. It's a fort that was built in the 18th century to protect the city against pirate attacks. The building is very well preserved and houses a museum with some interesting displays pertaining to Mexico's history. |
