Merida was my first introduction to Mexico over 30 years ago as a backpacker and caused me to fall in love with this beautiful country. I am going back with my wife in August for our 20th anniversary. Can’t wait to experience it again! Thanks for such a great, informative video - really enjoyed your beautiful photography. Cheers Lizzie Sydney Australia.

I first arrived in Mérida 40+ years ago. Can you even imagine how different it was then? I can. It was the most peaceful city on earth. I cannot even imagine how many hundreds, probably thousands, of miles I have walked or bicycled on the streets of Mérida. The population of the city is probably three times what it was when I first arrived. The only thing that has not grown is the airport. I quickly fell in love with the downtown area, and especially the Mercado Lucas de Gálvez, from which I lived about 5 blocks in those days. After a long absence, I returned to Yucatán in 2011. When I got to the Plaza Grande, my emotions took over, and tears began to pour down my face. That place holds countless memories for me. I will always love Mérida, because like Mérida, Yucatán, there is no other.
