The tranquil Andador de Macedonio Alcalá pedestrian mall, named after the composer of the Oaxacan hymn “Dios Nunca Muere” (“God Never Dies”), leads north from the zócalo. [1]
Paved with Oaxaca green stone in 1985 and freed of auto traffic, the mall connects the zócalo with a number of unmissable Oaxaca sights.
