Parque Espana is located facing the Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus; in its center stands the statue of Sebastian de Benalcazar, the founder of San Francisco de Quito

In the Parque de la Armada lies the Calderon, a gunboat which played an outstanding role in the naval battle of Jambeli in 1941 and which now contains a historical museum.

Also nearby are the Centro Civico Theater, the planetarium of the Navy. Finally you come to the Puerto Maritimo, Guayaquil's main port and in fact one of the most important ports of South America on the Pacific side. It is considered that 80% of the country's exports and 50% of its imports pass through it.
