IZAMAL, MEXICO

IZAMAL SITS IN THE MIDDLE OF MEXICOS YUCATAN. IT IS A TOWN BUILT ON BELIEF, REBUILT ON CONQUEST, AND NOW QUIETLY LIVED IN. IT IS MORE OF A FEELING THAN A PLACE. ALL WALLS ARE A GOLDEN HUE OF YELLOW, THE MAJESTIC CONVENTO DE SAN ANTONIO DE PADUA RISES AT ITS CENTRE, OPPOSITE IS THE INTOXICATING MERCADO MUNICIPAL, AND MAYAN PYRAMIDS HIDE IN AROUND EACH CORNER. THE CENTRO CULTURAL EXHIBITS ANCIENT MEXICAN ARTEFACTS, AND YOU CAN BUY BEAUTIFUL HOME WEAR AND CLOTHES IN THE SHOP NEXT DOOR, TALLER MAYA. I STAYED AT A STUNNING AIRBNB CALLED CASONA TRES CULTURAS, IT WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY AND RIGHT IN THE HEART OF IZAMAL.
