a review about Puertoviejo 
This
city houses close to 200,000 inhabitants and is the capital of
Manabi province as well as the main center for commercial activity
such as coffee, fishing and cattle ranching, it also is infamous
for Kapok mattresses and pillows made from the ceibo seed case
and is a good place to buy hammocks. You can stroll around the
city easily by foot and visit the Parque Eloy Alfaro which faces
the local cathedral. An interesting nearby village to visit is
Sosote just a few minutes from Portoviejo, it's worth visiting
because of its tagua workshops. The main street has several stalls
selling tagua figures.
