We visited Mérida earlier this year, but a day trip took us west. Really want to go back to the area. Thanks for posting this to the History link-up!

We regret not being able to visit this site (alongside many other parts of Mexico). Definitely coming back!

San Antonio de Padua Izamal looks majestic.

Another city I like very much is Valladolid, about another hour east of Izamal on the Cancun highway. A lovely little colonial city with a traditional church in each of its seven barrios. Just starting to be “discovered” by tourists and expats, but still very very Mexican.

I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Mexico; when I get the chance to do so, I will make sure to visit small towns too, including this yellow city. First to hear of it, but it definitely won’t be the last 🙂

Hi Cat,
It’s a beautiful convent. We’re planning to be in southern Spain in early spring, so I’m interested in checking out some of the architecture there!

Steve, I’m sure you’ll love it. We rented a car, and had a fantastic time touring around the Yucatan. There’s just so much history around every corner…

Suzanne, thanks so much for the book recommendations. I’ve heard a couple of great recommendations for Incidents of Travel in Yucatan – sounds like a great book to check out.
