Vallidolid is a welcoming city, full of history and a place Yucatan is truly proud of. For centuries it has been recognized for its rich Spanish legacy, made tangible in the temples and old parishes. Valladolid has an exceptional Colonial flavor. Walking through its streets with their brightly painted houses, the churches and, of course, the Convent of San Bernardino of Siena, is like walking directly into the past. In the heat of the day the laurels in the Main Square offer shade to locals and travelers alike; the birds gather and fill the air with their calls as the day draws to a close. Leather and Henequén handicrafts can be found in the establishments throughout the city, along with hammocks, weavings from different plant fibers, and stone carvings.

There are numerous restaurants where the delicious local cuisine can be sampled making Valladolid a vibrant example of the provincial flavor of our Mexico. An obliged stop at Cenote Dzitnup for a refreshing swim is just minutes away.
