Yesterday in the hot evening I returned to Plaza de Armas of Veracruz to enjoy the Mexican folklore. Three different groups were performing music and dancing on the stage under the palms. Colors, rythms and beauty of local senoritas. Unforgetable!
Today I travel again by ADO bus. The road to Tampico is not a highway. Narrow, bumpy but very picturesque with many hills, rivers and small settlements. We have two drivers, but they are not so nice. they do not hurry. They can stop the bus full of passengers and they go shopping. Mexico!
As a result we reached Tampico with a big delay – after 10,5 hours drive…
The entry to the city is very impressive – trough the high bridge, with a nice view of the city and the river. I left my pack in the friendy Vithez hotel – just 400 m from terminal and took colectivo taxi to Plaza de Armas. It costs only 9 pesos pp.
I was surprised, how nice is old Tampico in the evening. There are two plazas: Armas and Libertad nearby and both were nicely iluminated. On Liberdad I found many nice balconies (see picture). Looks like New Orleans – don’t you think?
