Like many Mexican cities the plaza is the heart of Sahuayo. It's where the majority of people congregate, where concerts and festivals take place, and the scene of every postcard that's sold here. A gazebo is at the center, and benches and well-trimmed trees surround the plaza. Traffic circulates around the plaza counter-clockwise. Vendors sell coconut water (agua del coco), ice cream (helado), toys, and sweets.
During the day it's not very crowded. Old men shoot the breeze, and young men polish the shoes of businessmen. At night, it's pretty much the same. Sunday afternoons are the busiest time. It's packed with people, but by sunset, it's much quieter.
I walk through the plaza every day when I go to work. Sometimes I meet people there. It's convenient and everyone enjoys the atmosphere.
