The zócalo
As befits a proper Mexican town, Mazatlán's zócalo is very much the commercial heart of the city, harbouring the eclectic and somewhat gaudy cathedral, the post office, government offices, main bank branches and travel agencies. Always animated, it's especially lively on Sunday evening from 6 to 8pm, when there's a free folklórico show with singing and dancing.
