Letras Valladolid — Attraction in Valladolid

We stumbled upon this town on a weekend trip to Merida from Quintana Roo. What a beautiful historic city. Just gorgeous. Small, but quaint. Doesn’t seem like a lot to do. We walked to the sign from the Town Square after having a delicious breakfast at the Marque Hotel. If you go, try the bread and jam - so good. Walking down the historic 45th Avenue was so majestic and beautiful. It took about 40 minutes Roundtrip with my family as we stopped and took photos. There was an officer across the street protecting the sign - no one is allowed to stand on it apparently. It seems like each city protects its sign differently. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Because no other city prohibited you from taking photos or standing on/near. It was worth the walk. Don’t know if I’d visit this place again but I appreciated this stop. I hope you find this review helpful. If so, give me...

Vreme posete: početak marta 2024. god. Naš prvi i najlepši susret sa Valjadolidom - slova grada. Svako slovo ima svoju simboliku i značenje. V - Prvo slovo predstavlja ratnika Maja, a ono je omaž civilizaciji Maja koja je na ovim prostorima postojala milenijumima. A - Drugo slovo predstavlja španskog osvajača i pogled mu je usmeren ka ratniku Maja, dok oboje razmišljaju o promenama koje predstoje. L - Treće slovo prikazuje tradicionalnu haljinu, mešavinu kulture Maja i Španije. Tradicionalna haljina Maja ukrašena je španskim vezom. L - Četvrto slovo prikazuje svetog zaštitnika Valjadolida, Bogorodicu od Kandelarije. A - Peto slovo prikazuje glavnu crkvu Valjadolida, crkvu Svete Službe. Za razliku od jukatanskih crkava, crkva Svete Službe je okrenuta ka severu, a ne prema zapadu. D - Šesto slovo ima naslikanog belog sokola, koji se na majanskom zove Zaci. Konkretno, ova ptica je simbol Valjadolida i deo je njegovog grba. O - Sedmo slovo prikazuje prirodu Valjadolida, Ilustrovano džunglom i veličanstvenim jaguarom. Jaguar ima moćno značenje za Maje. L - Osmo slovo prikazuje Jaranu, tradicionalni ples Jukatana. I - Deveto slovo prikazuje mestizinu fontanu, koja se nalazi u centru Valjadolida. D - Deseto slovo prikazuje najveću atrakciju Valjadolida, Cenote Zaci, koji se nalazi u centru grada. Zato smo svi izvadili telefone i pozirali za fotografiju ispred ovog šarenog znaka Valjadolida. Znak se nalazi u parku Sisal odmah ispred manastira. Veoma lepa dobrodošlica u ovom...

If you visit Valladolid, go over to the Letras. They have a nightly show at 9pm in Spanish and at 9:15pm in English. They’re actually located right in front of San Bernardino convent (museum). You can walk there from your hotel since Valladolid center has so many things for you to see. Right across the letters, there’s a couple places you can grab a drink...
