Things to do in Guaymas

  1. A

    Mercado Municipal

    Like most Mexican towns, Guaymas supports a Mercado Municipal, which has stalls where you can sit down to eat cheaply. Popular morning stalls include El Rinconito for machaca (rehydrated, spiced beef) and El Vaporcito for tacos al vapor (steamed beef) and birria (spicy meat stew). Both are in the southwest corner. It's a block south of Av Serdán, on Av Rodríguez between Calles 19 and 20, and opens around 06:00.

    Old Jail

    The old jail (1900), near the bus station on Calle 15, is also an impressive sight in an otherwise rundown neighborhood. A project is in order to move the now razed Museo Histórico de Guaymas here, though not much progress had been made at time of research.
