Much better than last time! The renovation is quite nice. There are still a few empty kiosks, so it will be interesting to go back in a little while to see what happens. But it is definitely a move in the right direction... More

I have loved the Center in the Square since I was little and love sharing it with my son. They are renovating it right now, but it will be even more amazing when complete. More

You must visit Center in the Square both in the daytime and at night. There are nice little shops, including a chocolate shop and clothing stores where you can buy unique gifts. At night, there are bars, restaurants and a club with two DJs and dance rooms. Have fun, relax and enjoy yourself! More

Just park there and take in the sights, sounds and smells. The open air market had great looking produce and the numerous restaurants around there were all within walking distance. There are some interesting shops nearby and plenty to do in terms of arts and culture. More
