The beautiful Zocalo Main Square in downtown Veracruz is the vibrant heart of a pulsating city. The historic Cathedral rises above all on the east side of the square.

The Zocalo is the vibrant heart of downtown Veracruz, lined by historic colonial buildings with porticos, where everyone goes for street bargains, food, music and merriment.
The towers of the 17th Century San Juan de Ulua Fort offer some of the best views of the city and bay.
One of the many colorful, festive floats in the Grand Carnival Parade that winds down the picturesque, seaside Avila Camacho Boulevard.
The King of Carnival enjoys the applause and adulation from his fans and supporters lining the 4-mile-long parade route.

 

 

Everyone in the parade dons a colorful costume, like this friendly Veracruz woman who likes her ruffles and feathers.
