Example of Meridas Champs Elysees buildings.
No chance of getting cash out of this bank that`s for sure!
Some of the lesser sized houses.
Merida is a very pleasant place with a main square alive with people surrounded by exceptional looking buildings.
We took ourselves off down the "Champs Elysees" of Merida and succeeded in getting a tour around one of the colonial homes and very interesting experience it was. Not so many of these homes exist now and those that do have been transformed into banks which is a shame but at least the buildings have been retained.
In the evening, we took in a typical Mayan music evening including dancing and singing.I would reckon at least 60% of those watching were locals. They clearly value their heritage which is great to see.
