Historic and touristy area for people to walk around and read about the city's rich history and visit shops and restaurants. It's small enough and it didn't feel crowded on the day we came. There's a Catholic church that was built in 1706 and is...Read More

This was a fantastic way to spend the weekend. There was plenty to see, eat, do, sit, people to chat with, and great buys all around. From the street vendors to the car show we had a great time. We’ll definitely come back

Old town Plaza is a great historic place to visit. The shops are expensive tourist "traps" but are fun to look at and explore. I definitely recommend seeing the historic Church and even trying drinks at one of the tasting rooms in the area!
