La Crucecita, originally built as the service town for the Huatulco resort area, is nestled just inland from Santa Cruz Bay on the coast of Oaxaca. Today, it exudes an authentic atmosphere that lures visitors from the nearby beaches to its lively streets. The town’s highlights include a traditional market brimming with local goods, a historic church, and an array of specialty shops and restaurants. Visitors can wander through the bustling market, explore the colonial architecture, and savor the flavors of Oaxacan cuisine.
