We shall always remember Merida (in Yucatan, Mexico) if, for anything else, at least for the huge ice-cream we had in Paseo Montejo! This was somehow a fancy spot, as we could see customers were mainly tourists (we did end up here thanks to Wikitravel, after all!) and well-off Mexican … more »
Standing lonely and tall at the edge, petrified like the waterfall it overlooks. It’s freezing, but the water is warm and welcoming. Bubbling up from the heart of the mountain – these hot springs at Hierve el Agua in Oaxaca, look like an infinity pool. Impressive!
Campeche is a very beautiful town in Mexico. If you have ever seen the TV show Gilmore Girls and like the feel of fictional town Stars Hollow, this would be the real-life alternative to it! The only down-side of Campeche for us was the shortage of places to eat! … more »

Unless you have a special fetiche for ball-scratching voyeurism while dining… I would recommend against this restaurant! Les Quinze Nits is placed very close to Las Ramblas in Barcelona: in such a touristic site you don’t need to try very hard to have a crowd, so I guess … more »
(read Spanish road-trip part 3/4: Andalucia here!) Madrid: final stop before crossing the Atlantic Being the capital of Spain, Madrid has a lot to offer, but we didn’t really spend much time there. This was basically our last stop before heading to Cancun, and thinking about the sunny … more »
If you don’t like corn, do not come to Mexico! Or do come, but bring your own food!… Jokes aside, Mexicans do love corn and their diet is heavilly based around it. “Tortillas” is their flat bread made out of corn dough and it’s a staple side in all … more »
