About 1km west of the center, Parque Alameda is either a very large plaza or a very small park, depending on your expectations. What it doesn’t lack is activity. Aside from the obligatory statues of dead heroes, you’ll find an outdoor gym, a bandstand, food carts, shoe-shiners and a kids playground, including a huge jungle of bouncy castles and air-filled slides. Practically the whole city rolls in at weekends after Sunday Mass.
