MERIDA"The White City"

 

The beautiful Merida was founded in 1542 by the Spaniard Francisco de Montejo over the ruins of the Mayan city Tho. It received its name to evoke the conqueror's natal city (Merida, Spain). The Cathedral of San Ildelfonso was founded with stones dismantled from the pyramids. Merida is known as the White City, one of the most tranquil and safest cities in Mexico. Her remote Mayan roots, superb colonial monuments and the splendor of her XIX century architecture, has made Merida a captivating mixture of cultural influences. There is a great variety of good restaurants with regional cuisine and excellent dishes such as cochinita pibil and deer meat. Meriden people are known for their hospitality and pride on their strong traditions and cultural roots.
