P.º de Montejo — Attraction in Mérida

A broad boulevard that was supposed to be reminiscent of Paris but falls way short. Some nice buildings are located along this road, but they are widely spaced and dont really have the feel of a city. Most buildings along the road are occupied by banks and hotels. There are several modern buildings that dont really fit in. The double row of trees on each side of the street is the real star as its both visually pleasing and provides the much...

This is supposed to be wealthy part of town, but aside from the few mansions that have been turned into museums, I see nothing out of the ordinary here. The kinds of shops and restaurants they have here, you can find in pretty much any town in the U.S. Also, for being a high-end neighborhood, there sure is a lot of graffiti and abandoned buildings.

Vreme posete: početak marta 2024. god. Jedna od lepših stvari koju (osim hodajući) možete da učinite da bi upoznali Meridu, je lagana vožnja kočijom duž Paseo de Monteho , u predvečerje. Paseo de Monteho je glavna avenija u gradu, dugačka oko 6 km i dobila je ime po Francisku de Montehu , osvajaču Jukatana i osnivaču glavnog grada Jukatana . Duž trase ove avenije nalaze se brojne javne i privatne institucije i glavni je deo turističkog obilaska Meride.

Avenija je okružena drvećem, a sa obe strane podignute su prelepe vile i dvorci bogatih ljudi sa Jukatana u XIX veku. I šta ćete, pored ostalog, videti dok kočija polako odmiče, a kočijaš glasno uzvikuje nazive: čuvenih zgrada (Kuće Blizanci, Kantonova palata, Minaret, Quinta Montes Molina, itd., čuvenih spomenika (Spomenik Otadžbini, Spomenik porodici Montejos, Spomenik Gonzala Gerera, Spomenik Justo Sierra, itd. drugih bitnih mesta vrednih posete (Cafeteria Impala, Kuća koncepta T´HŌ, Nebeske viseće mreže, Kolon slatkiši i sorbeterija, itd. Ova vožnja kočijom traje oko 1h i vredi svoje cene (500 pezosa). Nakon toga, ostaje vam samo da neka od tih mesta i...
