Staying around Muelle Uno and the port
Check the map pin carefully when accommodation describes itself as being at the port. Muelle Uno is a commercial promenade, and many nearby rooms are on streets behind it. The route around the waterfront can be longer than the direct street route, especially when you are carrying luggage or heading for a train.
