Posteado el Abril 11, 2007 - Categorizado en Gastronomic Tourism in Merida, Gastronomic Tourism in Mexico, Merida Mexico, Merida Yucatan, Mexico traditions

The traditional food of Yucatan reflectts the mixture of Hispanic and Mayan cultures. The exquisite flavor of Yucatecan cuisine eminates from traditional recipes and fresh ingredients.
Maize, or corn is an essential component of Yucatecan dishes, and is consumed in abundance. Some typical dishes such as lime soup, papadzul and Motul-style eggs all use fried tortillas in their preparation; other dishes such as the panucho or dzotolbichay are prepared with masa, or the tortilla dough. Turkey is also used widely in Yucatecan cuisine, and is the basic ingredient of a wide variety of succulent traditional dishes.
Mérida has an infinite number of restaurants where one can enjoy all kinds of food, from the most elemental and economic to the most sophisticated and elegant, as well as gourmet restaurants offering international cuisine (see restaurants in Merida).

We invite you travel to Mexico, visit this wonderful place and to lodge at one of many hotels in Merida and Mexico resorts.

Cultural Tourism in Merida: Festivals and Traditions

Posteado el Abril 10, 2007 - Categorizado en Cultural Tourism in Merida, Cultural Tourism in Mexico, Merida Mexico, Merida Yucatan, Mexico Festivals, Mexico traditions

Merida is a city that proudly maintains many of its old musical and festive traditions. In every square or plaza, you can listen to traditional songs, ballads with a bohemian feel, or you can enjoy the rhythmic sounds of the jarana every Monday in front of the city’s Palacio Municipal.
Among the most important celebrations that take place in the White City are la Festividad del Cristo de las Ampollas and Independence Day; both fall in the month of September. During that time, the streets of Merida are adorned with the flag’s red, white and green colors.

In November, Day of the Dead is celebrated with the preparation of the classical “muc-bil,” a tamal made with chicken and lard. During that same month, the X’Matkuil Fair takes place, which has an important display of farm animals, crafts and industrial supplies. While you there you can watch a rodeo, a bullfight or a cockfight. If that’s not for you, you can catch a live performance of numerous national and international musicians.
