Barrio de los Sapos, or 'Toads' Neighborhood,' charms visitors with its cobblestone streets and vividly painted colonial houses. On weekends, the main square transforms into a bustling antiques market where vendors sell vintage furniture, retro collectibles, and local crafts. The area's name comes from the toad-shaped fountains that dot the square. Visitors enjoy browsing the shops, sipping coffee at sidewalk cafes, and soaking in the bohemian vibe that makes this quarter unique.
