The only commercial traffic allowed in the canals are public transportation-oriented craft ���?? water taxis, tour boats, ship launches (from the harbor), and so on (a few floating restaurants prove the exception to the rule). Most of the other craft on the water are either city police or maintenance craft, or private commuter boats. The canals are open to the sea, allowing small watercraft and launches to sail from the ocean into the city and vice versa. Though fairly wide, the canals are relatively shallow ���?? few other ocean-going vessels can enter them. Most yachts dock in harbor marinas. | The only commercial traffic allowed in the canals are public transportation-oriented craft ���?? water taxis, tour boats, ship launches (from the harbor), and so on (a few floating restaurants prove the exception to the rule).

Throughout most of the city, the sides of the canals are moss-covered ferrocrete. In the Historical District, however, the sides are sheathed in beautiful frescoes. These frescoes are washed every night by city workers and kept in perfect repair. | Throughout most of the city, the sides of the canals are moss-covered [[ferrocrete]].
