Surrounded by aristocratic colonial buildings, the large green central plaza is an oasis in the middle of this busy town. This is a city where people stroll the streets after dark and feel safe and comfortable.
Men in woven panama hats and guayaberas gather in the morning; women in colorful huipiles sit in the shade or tend small sidewalk stands, and white, S-shaped chairs are quaint reminders of former courtship rituals.
