Valladolid – 3 hours for lunch and a quick look

Valladolid

Visiting Valladolid – A simple city

We made a stop for lunch, and… it was all. However, we didn’t miss much in Valladolid – a simple small city, with a central garden surrounded by the church, public buildings and… our restaurant.

Street scene

This calm city, displayed around a central garden bordered by the church and some typical buildings, was a good opportunity to start living real Mexico, after a week in the artificial paradise of Cancun.

The centre of town is occupied by a square garden, surrounded by the most important buildings.

​Though not outstanding, the general look is harmonious and suggests tranquility.

Dzitnup cenote

In Yucatan water flows quickly to a low level, being accessible through big holes called “cenotes”. 

We visited this one, a big cave with a natural pool inside. 

It was cool, and no one risked a swim, but there was someone doing it.

We stopped in Valladolid in our way inland, just for lunch. With kids, difficult to adapt to strange food, we tried to choose a good restaurant, and found one in the main square, close to the church and city hall.

We had a good lunch, a moderate price, and the kids also enjoyed the meal. And that is good.
