Merida

We used our time in Merida to expand our skillset.
We took a 5h cooking class we got recommended from Jessica and Kenneth, a swiss couple we found on FindPenguins. It was an amazing experience. We went to the local market with the chef to buy all ingredients we needed. He explained a lot about the yucatecan cuisine and how it’s affected by the history of the region.
After that we prepared a huge meal with different kinds of regional specialties like poc-chuc, tamales or empanadas. On the same day we took also a salsa class to get a insight of the famous Latin dance. It was pretty exhausting, especially after eating almost the entire day! 😅🙈
To learn more about Merida we joined a free walking tour which was super nice. We were lucky because after the tour we could visit a performance of a traditional band and dance group at the plaza grande.Read more
