Mexico Is More

If the beach isn't your first and only reason for coming to Mexico, you can look into food tours. Most are organized to be multiple hours long and give you plenty of insight into the local cuisine. If you're visiting Playa del Carmen, Tulum, or Merida, Eating With Carmen is one company you might consider booking with.

A reminder, you can share the beaches of popular Mexican resort towns with throngs of people or head south from Cancun or Playa del Carmen to enjoy this kind of peace in Bacalar.

These decorations are hung in Santa María Del Río, San Luis Potosi, just under 50 km from the state capital.

Although I am unsure if these gorgeous lights were hung in honor of Christmas, they are also located in Morelia, the capital of its state and a perfectly viable vacation destination over more traditionally accepted Mexican vacation destinations. On a side note, it's only 50 minutes away from Celaya.

This beautiful tree is on display is Hermosillo, Sonora.

As you can see, the mood is still very festive in Atlixco, Puebla, just 40 minutes from the capital city, also named Puebla.

Here's the tree in Ixtapan de la Sal, a lovely Pueblo Magico in the southern part of Mexico state known for its hot springs and nearby waterfalls.

This tree is part of the decorations at a mall called Antara in a zone of Mexico City called Polanco.

If the idea of a future Christmas in Mexico is still germinating in your head, stay tuned for a variety of holiday decorations. First up is Xico, a Pueblo Magico in Veracruz with easy access to a national park and a number of coffee plantations.

I know I've mentioned Isla Holbox possibly excessively but doesn't this picture (taken by ) personify peacefulness?

15/10/2020

In a post-COVID-19 world, if you choose Isla Holbox for your Mexican vacation, this could be your view at night.

We have discussed Tlayacapan before but I bring it up again because I find this picture so magnetic, almost postcard like, and wanted to show it to you. If you remember, Tlayacapan is a little Pueblo Magico about an hour outside Mexico City.

Manzanillo at sunset. When we're able to travel again, would you consider making Manzanillo your vacation home?

02/06/2020

I know the posts have slowed down while the world isolates but stay with me, they will be here and there until the tourism industry starts booming once more. In the meantime, enjoy the sun over this beach on Isla Holbox.

The other reason Manzanillo is internationally well known is that this resort, Las Hadas, was featured in the 1979 movie 10, starring Dudley Moore and Bo Derek.

If you'd rather be ON the water, Manzanillo is well known internationally for deep sea fishing.

As you can see on this map, there's a lot of waterfront to explore plus quite a few beachfront hotels if you're looking for a view.

As Manzillo is in a bay, their beaches are not only lovely but relatively calm.

28/05/2020

There are a few reasons we haven't discussed Manzanillo yet. First, it is a somewhat large city. For comparison, you can think of Barrie, Ontario or Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Secondary, unlike many of the places we have discussed, although tourism is important, as you can see from this picture, it is also a port and a very busy one at that, as well as home to the Pacific Naval Force.,

It's Foodie Friday here at Mexico Is More and this tasty treat is called a tlayuda and is traditional Oaxacan cuisine. It starts with a large, thin, crunchy, either partially fried or toasted tortilla about the size of a dinner plate covered with a spread of refried beans, asiento (unrefined pork lard), lettuce or cabbage, avocado, meat (usually shredded chicken, beef tenderloin or pork), Oaxaca cheese, and salsa. There are, of course, variations and outside of Oaxaca, you're more likely to see tlayudas in Mexico City, Puebla and Guadalajara.

You can eat just about anything you want in Ajijic, including vegetarian. But at Lake Taco, they can offer you this variation of the burrito stuffed with tasty shrimp.

One of the big yearly events in Ajijic is the national chili cookoff. Ajijic has hosted the event every February since 1978.
