This triangular square behind the Torre del Reloj served as a slave market
Formerly known as Plaza de la Yerba, this triangular square behind the Torre del Reloj was used as a slave market. At the end of the 19th century, it was used as a place to parkhorse-drawn carriages, hence its current name. It is still there that you can take a carriage tour of the historic center. The houses with balconies overhang the arches where the vendors of dulces (sweets) shelter from the sun, it is the famous Portal de los Dulces. Be careful, after a certain hour, the square becomes a place of prostitution.

belle ambiance le soir
Cette place est juste derrière la tour del reloj entrés sur le centre colonial et vous avez un monde fou qui s'y présente à toute heure de la journée, nombre de petits vendeurs et pas mal de touristes aussi. En soirée vous avez souvent des animations folkloriques ou musicales à cet endroit c'est du plus bel effet!!
