Centro

Not a fun day of cycling today, several highways, all with lots of traffic and strong headwinds for about 70km out of 110km. But except for the cycling part, the day was actually pretty cool. We passed Tepotzlan, a pueblo magico, which is located in a stunning mountain landscape. Then we met a German on the road. He had cycled from Ecuador to Chile and gave us some headsup on the roads in South America. After about 80km, we stopped for lunch in a tiny village and had the best tortas ever! The lady prepared them fresh in her kitchen and offered us a seat in her living room already decorated for Christmas. The lunchstop was perfectly timed because afterwards, there was a stretch on the road from where we could see Popocatepetl. It had been in clouds all day, bit at that particular part of the road, it had cleared up, so we could get some glimpses of the impressive volcano. Once we got to Izucar de Matamoros, we were pretty exhausted and only went for a short walk around the city centre. And as we are in Mexico, there were - OF COURSE - festivities running in the main plaza with traditional dances and music. A Wednesday in Mexico 😉Read more
