Parque La Leona
A small hilltop viewpoint park in the northwest of the old town, overlooking the cathedral dome and red-tiled roofs, surrounded by colonial streets.
Parque La Leona sits in the La Leona hillside neighbourhood northwest of the old town, where many 19th-century houses and stone-paved slopes survive. The park terrace is an excellent place to look down over the old town's red-tiled roofs and the cathedral, with the distant Picacho hill beyond. The park is small, with benches and shade, and the light is best in the evening. You can walk uphill for about 15 minutes from the area around Los Dolores church, but the slope is steep, so it's best to go in daylight or take a taxi directly.
