Veracruz' Pics I



This is the mangroves and palm tress route towards Jicacal in the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The boat ride costs £0.20 one way. Of course they use quite small boats and fill them up with people who carry loads of stuff with them to spend the whole day in Jicacal.



This is Jicacal on a windy and wavy day. Although one can bring its own food and drinks, one can order some freshly caught fish and they prepared it as one wishes. There are caguamas (beer bottles of one litre) and loads of snacks to buy. The day goes quite fast in this kind of place.



This is the first of the two posts I offer on some contrasting things that Veracruz has to offer. Since Veracruz is not on the Caribbean or the Pacific, it is a place not so famous among the common European tourist. Therefore, I have the pleasure to show you some of my favourite places there. Still, I have to admit that there is so much for me to explore in that province, which I intend to do little by little.
