La Plaza de Santa María de Guadalupe is the epicenter of Guadalupe, the town’s most popular attraction, and where you can find the main entrance to the Basilica and Royal Monastery of Guadalupe.
The square is surrounded by typical mountain homes which rest on supports housing small businesses, souvenir shops, bars, and restaurants with terraces. In the center of the square, there’s a historic stone fountain that serves as a sort of makeshift rotunda.
This fountain was where the first natives brought to Europe by Christopher Columbus were baptized and the origin of the Virgin de Guadalupe’s popularity throughout Latin America. The Tourist Information Office is located on the corner of the square with Calle Sevilla.
