    You’re right, most people don’t seem to visit Valladolid on their way to the ruins… when I was in Cancun years ago with my family, we did the packaged day trip to Chichén Itzá…with a very brief stop at Valladolid…after watching your videos, it definitely looks like Valladolid is worth a longer visit…hope you are enjoying Mexico 🇲🇽

    As I've come to expect the senorita Alina finds the interesting and unique where ever she wanders. Best of all she shares these with her viewers. Another gem that I've never heard of but definitely looks worth the effort to explore.

    Glad to know that Yucutan Peninsula has towns that colorful, vibrant, and offer more than beaches and all-inclusive resorts. After watching this, I'm definitely convinced that I will enjoy visiting Mexico 🇲🇽 Excellent work 👏

    This town looks great when you are visiting Chichen Itzá , Can Cun or Isla Mujeres for no more than 2 or 3 days. If you visit the Yucatán Peninsula the best plan is to be near the ocean and enjoy swimming, taking the sun or walking along these superb beaches. I always have been curious about Merida. This city looks like a history gem full of colonial and republican palaces. Also there are many small towns with georgeous beaches near Merida. Maybe you can visit that area. This city is full of Cubans, Afroamericans from USA and also Canadian expats who enjoy a more relaxed way of live full of local Caribbean culture. Alina is having a great time in Latin America.

    I did a road trip through the Yucatan last month and spent a few days in Valladolid. Without a doubt it was my favorite city and I love this city. I stayed at the Meson Del Marques and had breakfast every morning at the table in your video! the service was excellent and the accommodations were wonderful (at a price I felt was very reasonable). I can't wait to go back and spend more time in this city, with lots to do and everyone we met was so very wonderful!

    I stopped in Valladolid in January, 1986(!), on my way from Palenque to Cancun. There was a nice restaurant on the main plaza, and they had something called “cochinita pibil” on the menu, so on a whim I tried it. It was amazing, and after preparing the meal myself countless times I’ve introduced a Yucatan food to many people. Thanks Valladolid!

  • @bigvito9008
    @bigvito9008 2 года назад +2

    $40 for a room at Candelaria makes me feel really old. I stayed on the square at the Maria de la Luz in 1985 for $6. That was back in the day when entry fees to the ruins were a pittance, and free on Sundays. Cenotes were all free. I still visit Merida and Izamal, and love it, but also glad I was fortunate enough to visit years ago.

    Another eye opener from you, Alina! I have never been there, but the more you share of Mexico, it would be very easy to plan it and enjoy Mexico seeing the things you have shared there. I am a fan of Mexican food, so that part would be a must to share with Alona. She keeps asking me to share what it taste like, but like we all know, it is very hard to describe it but it will end up being one of your favorites if you watch the spices. Stay safe, looking forward to seeing more from you on this trip. Loved the music you chose for this video! Cheers to our special friend, from Michael & Alona! 💖👍😃

    Hi Alina,
    I think I was in Valladolid, but as You mentioned only on Tour to Chichen Itza. I am curious about Your impressions on Chichen Itza. My visit there was on a 21st of March and it was very impressive at sunset. The choice was spending the sunset in Chichen Itza or in Valladolid. At this special date of the Year, the choice was Chichen Itza.
    Best Regards,
    Ralf

    Very appealing in many ways except for the lack of shade on the streets and the bike paths; given the high heat there, I think I would find that difficult as I am a big walker and also travel with a small dog. Some places like CDMX, Lake Chapala area, Vallarta and so on have lots of trees which make a big difference when one is out and about.
