Mercy centers around a lively public square where the town's history as an administrative hub is still evident. The square features a small bandstand, benches under flamboyant trees, and a modest church that hosts community events. Visitors can watch domino players, buy snacks from vendors, and see the old municipal building. The neighborhood has a relaxed, neighborly feel, with narrow streets lined by colorful houses. It's a good place to experience local social life and learn about the area's past through conversations with elders.
