Travel to Merida
When visiting Merida, you will immediately see that it is a city of contrasts. Several different cultures, from Mayan to Dutch, have helped to influence the city over the years. Founded in the 16th century by the Spanish, you can still see the home of Montejo as part of your city tour. You’ll also find some ancient Maya stonework being used in the Colonial buildings that are sprinkled throughout the town.
For nearly half a century, Merida was built on the profits of making rope. The henequen and sisal plants grow quite well here, which made the city and surrounding region the top rope-making center in the world. It was so wealthy, in fact, that Merida installed street lights and public transportation before Mexico City.
There are plenty of historic places worth a visit during your stay. Make sure the Plaza Grande is on your list, where the Cathedral and the Governor’s Palace are located. The city museum, the railroad museum, and the Palacio Canto are good options to consider too. Take a walk along the El Paseo Montejo to see beautiful mansions, having some ice cream, and enjoy the fresh tamales.
On Sunday evenings, the city closes down the streets which lead to the Plaza Grande, creating a wonderful time to be social. Live music plays, people get dressed in their best, and there is plenty of dancing and merriment. Merida offers you plenty of opportunities to relax in a way that suits you best. Come here and you will find it to be an amazing destination.
