During the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico, the plaza was temporarily closed.[2] The government of Puerto Vallarta later allowed market vendors to move there after the Cuale River flooded their workplace when Hurricane Nora hit in 2021.[3][4] The plaza has appeared on The Amazing Race.[5]
Public art
[edit]The plaza features a bronze statue of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla by José Esteban Ramírez Guareño.[6] It was installed in 1988 and it replaced the idea of placing the same model in concrete.[1]
