    Mendoza has many squares, all spacious and nicely wooded. They were planned to shelter residents in case of earthquakes that have already occurred many years ago. But this square is quite large, has at least 4 hectares in area, with everything you need to keep in a square. Benches, gazebo, fountain, fairs, artesoes, shows and lots of people walking and resting in their shadows. Is required for the Mendoza.

    Everything, or almost everything, passes through this square. Tours, restaurants, fairs, celebrations, half marathon, etc. Well located. Have the activities of "mendoncinos". Can pass, sit, do everything, do nothing ... very good.

    As one of the few places open on New Years Day, it was relatively lively and worth a quick visit at night. Families, couples, children, & singles mutually enjoyed the plaza without problems. Great place you sit down, enjoy some gelato, & relax on a summer night.

    I met an amazing girl here! She is currently holding on to my snowboard gear while I explore Patagonia. That said, it was a beautiful place, and I was lucky enough to there on a celebration weekend. Music in the plaza is awesome! Also, she was Santiagan... Good times and drinking on the street is chill!
