Merida auf Yucatan. Photo smurf adventure was in June 2010 for two

Merida 

Photo Smurf Adventure 2010 was two nights in Merida, the capital of the 

state of Yucatan in Mexico. Merida is the starting point for many 

companies, it is also the gateway to the Mayan world, Puerta al Mundo 

Maya. Not far away is also the National Park Celestune with its thousands 

of flamingos. 

History of Merida 

Before moving out of the Spaniards in the 16th century there was a large 

Payramidenartige platform on the base of which the city stood Ti ho. The 

Great Pyramid Baklu'mchan measured about 120 m long and 10 m high. 

Unfortunately, the Spaniard, or better the Fransikaner monks have this 

structure completely destroyed and the stones used for the construction of 

the Fort San Benito. Too bad. Presumably the city for the Maya was just as 

important as Uxmal and Chichen Itza. Fortunately, these buildings were left 

by the Spanish conquerors as they found it. 

On 01.06.1542, the city whose 'meaning in the Mayan language "five" was 

renamed to Merida. The Spanish city of Merida has a high number of 

buildings of Roman origin and their residues. Francisco de Montejo was 

reminded by the buildings of the Maya in Merida in Spain. As a result of 

Thao was' finally Merida. 

Today in Merida

In the center of some 750,000 inhabitants comprehensive city has a lovely 

old town with many restaurant, bars and markets. Driving in the city is a bit 

exhausting for West Europeans, because you're not used to a lot of 

honking and overhauled the right or left.
