Malecón
Seafront
The seafront of the Port of Veracruz is one of the city’s most emblematic sites, not just for its design, architecture, and commercial and maritime import, but also for the stories it collects as time goes by. Today, this is a meeting point for locals and tourists alike who enjoy the view, cuisine, art, and traditions that the site has to offer.
