Located halfway between Cancun and Mérida, Valladolid is a small town (50,000 inhabitants) in the state of Yucatan. It was founded in 1543 by the Spanish conquerors on the remains of the Mayan village of Chauac-Há.
In the 19th century it was seriously affected by an indigenous revolution known as the War of the Castes, and recovery began in that century.
