El puerto de Veracruz, historic, romantic, musical place in Mexico, where El Conquistador Hernán Cortez put foot in Mexican land, decided to take it for Spain, (But that is another story). We visited along with the Martínez, included my own little Martínez.
First, The fort of San Juan de Ulua, defense against pirates, then jail for political prisoners, in Revolution times a refugee for the President.
That day was specially HOT, ¡mucho calor!
So, we went to cool down. Of course the eating in Mocambo, leading us after all, to more eating (the real thing now). We stopped in "La Parroquia"a typical place in Veracruz.
They sell the famous "Lechero", coffee syrup with hot and foamy milk.
To feel the soul of Veracruz, we sat in the "plaza" under the shade of palms and trees, watching how the local people start gathering and wait for the freshness of the evening and the music to dance.
