Alvarado boasts of being a potential tourist destination in Veracruz, however, it falls short in maintaining its sites. The beaches are undeniably stunning, offering picturesque landscapes and breathtaking sunsets. Nonetheless, it is disheartening to know that they only receive adequate attention and care for a mere month in a year.
