An open-air lifestyle shopping center in the Trojes de Alonso district with fashion boutiques, restaurants, cafes, and entertainment venues in a modern outdoor plaza format
Altaria is an open-air lifestyle shopping center on Boulevard a Zacatecas in the Trojes de Alonso district of Aguascalientes, offering a modern outdoor plaza format that pairs fashion retail with a substantial dining and entertainment component. Unlike enclosed traditional malls, Altaria is designed as a walkable outdoor complex, with landscaped walkways connecting boutiques, restaurants, cafes, and leisure venues, giving it a more relaxed, resort-like atmosphere popular with younger shoppers and families in the evening. The mix of tenants spans clothing and accessory boutiques, casual and sit-down restaurants, coffee shops, and entertainment options, making it as much a social destination as a shopping stop. Evenings, particularly Thursday through Saturday, tend to draw the largest crowds, when the plaza's restaurants and cafes fill with diners and the open-air setting is most pleasant given Aguascalientes' warm daytime temperatures. The center's contemporary design and outdoor layout distinguish it from the city's older shopping options and reflect the growth of the Trojes de Alonso area as a newer, upscale residential and commercial zone. For visitors staying in the northern part of the city, Altaria offers a convenient combination of retail therapy and dining without needing to travel to the Centro Histórico.
