Like many towns in Central America, there is a central park where all the main buildings are. The cathedral, city hall, museum all face this lovely park. They have a monument and fountains with lots of benches to sit on. Many people sell food around this square.

The vendors were so friendly. People watching was the best activity for me. There were also so many dogs.

Beautiful little square. Well landscaped park surrounded by interesting buildings and a good crowd. Eateries nearby and lots of ATM's. There's even a MacDonalds. Oh Boy!A few souvenir vendors but no hassles. Very European buzz to the whole scene. A must see if you're in town.

Families, fireworks, food and a wonderful time. Xela is the best! The people in this city are the most friendly.

Walk around and you will find Xelas history in each monument and buildings, typical spanish layout with cathedral, theater, finance and government buildings surround the park.

Not really much to see here. People drive like maniacs around the square. We were nearly killed by cars twice. No one respects the cross walks.

Xela is not a popular tourist site with a lively night life. In fact it's dirty and the streets are very dark and little frequented at night. Perhaps with time one might find its charm.

It's a nice plaza to wonder around. The surrounding buildings are lovely. On Sunday's its much less busy.

I'm not one for people watching, but if you are, definitely stop here or read a book. A few people selling things might come around as well as a few drunks or whatever, and if your a younger traveler some people might come and talk to you.

Good place to people watch. Plenty of local activity. Enjoyed watching young people and senior citizens socializing there.
