When I was 12, I went to Veracruz for first time, Veracruz is a fun City, The city is known for its rich traditions of music, including marimba bands, danzón and comparsa.In downtown Veracruz, a large marble-tiled Zocalo called the Plaza de Armas or Plaza Lerdo, is the heart of the city's lively nightlife.

the "Grand Café de la Parroquia" is the most famous coffehouse in Veracruz. Its signature drink is the "lechero" which consists of expresso coffee mixed with steamed milk.

The city has several beaches as well, like Villa del Mar and Mocambo.People in Veracruz are pretty Friendly, when I went for first time, I met some great people and I made friends.

Last year, I went to veracruz with my brother and his wife,we had a great time,we went to diving in "Cancuncito" a part in the middle of the port where the sand is tall enough to let you walk and when the tide is low an island emerge from the sea, really cool, and something I didn't belive I could see in Veracruz, coral reef,Veracruz is a commercial port , so the beaches are not nice, but that "Cancuncito" place It's ok.The people of Veracruz say it is just like Cancun, not true, but it is nice.

I saw some sea animals, some cool fishes, some "Erizos de Mar" those animals with tons of pointy spikes that hurt a lot, I don't know their name in english.

YOU SHOULD PLAN A TRIP THERE SOMETIME!!!!!!!!!
