More from Fyno’s curation
Paseo de Montejo is a grand avenue in the capital city of the Yucatan state. The avenue is named after Francisco de Montejo, the founder of Merida, and was built in the late 19th century as a symbol of the city's wealth and prosperity.
The avenue stretches for several miles and is lined with beautiful colonial-era mansions and other architectural gems. Many of the mansions have been converted into museums, art galleries, restaurants, and boutique hotels.
The avenue also has numerous parks and monuments, including the Monumento a la Patria (Monument to the Fatherland) and the Monumento a la Bandera (Monument to the Flag).
Overall, Paseo de Montejo is a great way to take in the vibes of Merida.
