  • Cute town square next to a cathedral. A lot of tour groups stop here (as did ours). A surprisingly heavy police presence around the square. Three cop cars with three armed officers standing on the back of the car. You can't help but wonder why that level of protection is necessary. Cathedral is neat!
  • Beautiful city, love the colors, we came here as part of a group tour and wished we had more than 20 minutes to really explore. The little I saw of the area was great and the little history I learned about it. I'll have to go again on my own to explore
  • This is the coolest little park/square, (depending on your terminology). Lots of places to sit, plenty of shade & great vendors (without being overwhelmed by vendors). The corn ice cream is absolutely delicious & the thin waffles they wrap around anything from fruit to ham & cheese are addictive 🥰). It's the main square of Valladolid so there's everything you want close by, food, drink, taxi, bank, fantastic people & every evening live music, dancing & fireworks. There's the morning ceremony of the raising of the Mexican flag which is breathtaking & chilling, it's overflowing with tradition, pride & history.
  • Great central park. So many birds at night. Beautiful greenery and view of the church. Police requesting use of masks. Very safe/clean
  • Parque Principal F israncisco Cantón Rosado has been a nice central square inside a beautiful historic city of Valladolid from 1500s. This is a classic Spanish style plaza, rectangular in shape with many trees and benches, as well as a fountain in the middle. It also has a gorgeous Cathedral and great colonial architectures all around. We had yummy home-made ice cream, watched, and enjoyed traditional Mexican dancing and singing in the park. There were lot of vendors in and outside the park and shops with handicraft items, especially wooden Mexican masks that you don’t get everywhere. The prices are reasonable compared to other places. We came here as part of a group tour by Xcaret Transferencias. They have a huge fleet of luxury buses with toilets inside. We were allowed to be here for half-an-hour on our way to Chichen itza. I wish we had more time to enjoy this cute, traditional, and historic park/place.
