La Crucecita
Huatulco's everyday town center, where a plaza is lined with shade trees, a church has a giant ceiling mural, and the evening food stalls are lively.
La Crucecita is a service town planned to support the resort area, yet it has the feel of a Mexican small city. The central plaza is shaded by trees and surrounded by restaurants, cafés, handicraft shops, and mezcal stores. Next to the plaza, the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe has a huge ceiling painting of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the town's most eye-catching landmark. Food and lodging here cost less than in the bay area, and you can try Oaxacan specialties such as tlayudas, mole, and fried grasshopper snacks. Taxis to each bay take 10 to 20 minutes.
