Isla Cuale
20° 36.4′ N · 105° 14.1′ W · approximate
A narrow, shady island in the Río Cuale between the Zona Romántica and Centro, with beach bars and craft stalls at its seaward end giving way upstream to a quiet park, galleries and riverside cafés.
Practical
Coordinate approximate (between the Wikipedia Zona Romántica point and the OSM Malecón; the river separates the two districts). The Isla Cuale market sells Talavera pottery, sarapes and other crafts (haggling expected; weekdays are quieter); the indoor Mercado Río Cuale is open daily 9am to 8pm. Staircase bridge up to Gringo Gulch, where Elizabeth Taylor had a home in the 1960s. Walking distance from Los Muertos pier.
