Plaza de Armas in La Serena

What it is and why it sits next to La Recova

It is the main square of the historic centre of La Serena. The regional tourism portal mentions it among the central places that go with a visit to the market.

Because it is an open space in the old town, it pairs well with a walk that starts or ends at La Recova.

• The main square of the historic centre.
• Mentioned by regional tourism sources.
• An open space, not a venue with gate hours.

Described from regional sources; this is not an official listing for the square.

How to get there from the market

It is inside the historic centre, so the trip from La Recova is on foot. The exact route depends on your starting point and which crossings are open.

Open the map listing and trace the route from where you are, rather than following a fixed description.

• A walk inside the centre.
• The route depends on your starting point.
• Use the map for the real path.

This guide publishes no walking minutes.

When it fits in the walk

It works as a short stop between the market and other points in the centre. If you want a quick visit, the square and the market can be enough for an hour.

The services around it and the atmosphere change by day, so keep a backup plan if something is closed.

Who it suits

It suits you if you want a short, open stop within a walk through the centre, with room to rest between the market and other points.

It suits you less if you expect a venue with fixed hours and services: it is an open square and its surroundings change by day.

• For a short stop between the market and the centre.
• For anyone wanting an open space to rest.
• It is not a venue with gate hours or fixed services.
