A few blocks from the popular Olas Altas Beach, Mazatlán’s Old Town, or Centro Histórico, is a neighborhood brimming with restored, French-style buildings from the 19th and 20th centuries. Centered around the leafy and laidback Plazuela Machado, this area invites visitors to explore a variety of art galleries, small museums, and boutiques. The streets are lined with an array of bars, restaurants, and cafes, offering a vibrant culinary and cultural scene. Historically significant attractions, such as the Ángela Peralta Theater, add to the charm, making it a rich and engaging destination for both locals and tourists.
