  Plaza Colón is the traditional town square of Mayagüez with its church and townhall on the periphery. It also surrounded by multiple restaurants and stores. The place is clean and the landscape is in good condition. Today, a Saturday night, the place is lively, which is likely in part due to the open-air Friend’s Café which make really good coffee.
