Plaza Grande: The Heart of Mérida

Alright, I’ll admit it – the first thing I did was snap the classic photo with the big colorful Mérida letters over at Plaza Grande. Plaza Grande – the Zocalo – is the main square in Mérida, which everyone who visits Mérida must have seen and looks at.

Catedral de Mérida

I’ll admit, the first time I stood in front of the cathedral, I wasn’t exactly blown away. From the outside, it looks more like a fortress, and the interior is pretty simple too.

Palacio de Gobierno

I knew I could simply walk past the two fully geared-up police officers standing at the entrance – no questions asked. But honestly, it still felt a bit strange. 🙂

Palacio Municipal de Mérida

As I like to say, Mérida only has two settings: hot and hotter. That’s why I enjoy Plaza Grande – there’s some welcome shade, and several major sights like the Palacio Municipal are just a short walk away.

Museo Casa Montejo

Good old Montejo, the man who once conquered Mérida, will cross your path again and again – whether you notice it or not. His name marks the city’s grandest boulevard, he stands tall in bronze statues, and he lives on in the Museo Casa Montejo.

Restaurante Picheta

Let me tell you – it’s not easy to find a more central location in Mérida, especially one that also offers such an impressive view. Whether it’s your first time in the city or you’ve been here before, the combination of setting and scenery is hard to beat.

Mercado Domingo

Funny enough, I actually stumbled upon the Sunday market in Mérida for the first time while riding a bike during La Biciruta – Mérida’s weekly Sunday bike ride.
