Mexico, Mexico | ||||||||

What to see Almost 500 years on, the impact of Spanish conquistador Hern�n Cort�s' arrival on Mexico's shores can be seen in the tall, ornate churches that crown the hillsides and plazas of Mexico's cities and the whitewashed walls of haciendas. But traces of earlier inhabitants remain in the remarkable temples and pyramids at Palenque and Teotihuac�n, and in the traditions of dozens of indigenous cultures. Accompanying it all are the subtle spices of Mexico's famous tortillas, tamales and enchiladas, washed down with bold red wines and potent tequila and mescal. |
