The Portales are a magnificent arcade surrounding the Plaza de Armas. It is a place with a unique atmosphere where locals and visitors gather to enjoy refreshing beverages and listen to joyful Veracruz music, including huapangueros and marimba players.

This is a place with several bars, restaurants, and cafés, including the famous Café de La Parroquia, where you can taste their incredible café lechero.

On Sundays, it becomes a festive place, as it is the meeting point for danzón bands and enthusiasts of this rhythm, who dress in traditional hats and guayaberas, while women wear flowing dresses.

This is one of the places you cannot miss when visiting the Port of Veracruz.
