Detail of El Fuerte de San Juan de Ulúa
hey guys! there's a tourist!
San Juan de Ulua
Prison cell in the Fort of San Jual de UluaI heard how beautiful Veracruz is....
....and maybe my expectations were too high. We had a bad hotel experience, and that might have colored my opinion as well. But honestly if I had a choice of going to Veracruz or say, Morelia or Merida, I would choose either before Veracruz. The hotel we stayed in, the Fiesta Americana, was supposedly the nicest in Veracruz. It's a tell tale sign to say that there were almost no employees that spoke english. I think that Veracruz has become more of a local vacation spot, maybe. I speak pretty decent spanish, so I was fine. My husband, though, was really lost there. Veracruz is by no means a hovel, but I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars on it's own merits.
