Valladolid What to do in a day

An old-school elite, this city in the Yucatan peninsula is an earthy canvas for an artist. Every vibrant house, every cobblestone street, church, and store carefully curated strokes, founded in 1543 by Spanish conquistador Francisco de Montejo. It absolutely feels like “pueblos magicos,” meaning magical towns, one of 132 cities in Mexico. Entering, you feel time standing still, surrounded by a lively ambiance. Just let yourself be swept up in the charm of the old world. Perfect day trip from Cancun or Tulum.

Here you go, my list of what to do  

1. Wonder or walk around Calzada de los Frailes. This colorful, quaint street is a photographer's or artist's dream. Every sight is a frame with carefully curated colonial Spanish houses on display, featuring façades, windows, walls, and pretty doorways, whether you want to do window shopping, dine in a trendy café, or check out a boho boutique.

4. Convent of San Bernardino de Siena. The Convent of San Bernadino in the background, with Valladolid words written in colorful letters in the front, not only scores you a perfect instaworthy picture but also a tiny, delightful stroll to experience the beauty of this remarkable place and visit the museum for just a small fee.

6. Visit the Iglesia de San Servicio. Built in the 16th century, this cathedral was demolished in 1705 and rebuilt in 1706, adding charm and delight to the city. It is located south of the main square, surrounded by palm trees. It is a delight in the heart of the town. The view of this site is absolutely gorgeous.

9. Dine in a Beautiful cafe. Valladolid is full of charming cafes and offers a variety of good food, including vegan options. I loved the ambiance and food of this cute cafe called "Le Kaat. "It was a must-visit for a creative and succulent menu and lovely ambiance.
