And they have this one but with flowers? How much do they cost? 100, I like that...
But you are looking with flowers...
Look ... That's cute ...
Hello, how are you? Welcome to my channel, I am Gladys Seara, and today...
I will be your eyes in the world, in this beautiful region of Mexico...
We are in Merida, hello Chris...
He is joining me on this tour of Mexico, have you already come to Mérida?
Never, first time? Yes and the first time for me too, the first hours ...
We are super excited to explore and get first impressions of this city that is warm
But very beautiful and very different also from the others in which we have been like
Cancun and Playa del Carmen, so get ready to discover in this video...
How is Mérida how it is made up, what are its streets like and what does it look like?
We are going to start trying Yucatecan food and we came ...
To la Chaya Maya, a famous restaurant here and I don't say it...
The reviews mention it because we already checked in Google so let's see ...
What dishes do we find here?
The first thing that we are going to do today in Merida...
It's eating and that's why we came to the Chaya Maya, a well-known restaurant...
For having typical food from this region...
Typical Yucatecan food, I am super excited to meet and try those dishes...
That I do not know, I think you have to make a video just trying Yucatecan food...
What do you think? Leave your comments but now we are going to refresh...
With this drink made with chaya, a plant that only grows in Yucatan...
It's a kind of spinach, I don't like spinach, you know it...
But I have to try the chaya, I can't leave Mérida...
Without tasting this delicious drink, which is made with orange or pineapple or...
The classic that has lemon and that was the one I ordered today
It is very tasty, I feel, it has a touch of mint...
I think it's the lemon but it's super refreshing...
This is something my mom would love, I think if they tell her I'm drinking...
A chaya juice, you don't believe it, she has to see it...
They also brought the classic tortilla chips that they always have them...
As an appetizer but this time we have them with a bean cream and...
A pumpkin seed cream...
It's delicious, now let's see what we're going to order to start this video...
Here is Mr. Santiago serving us, the strained tamale is typical of here?
Is a classic tamal and you will find it in just some places...
Due to the elaboration process, is it from Yucatan? Yes, it is a cast dough
Very thin, on top, it has pepper, onion, and paprika
I want the strained tamale because I love tamales, right next to me...
Is Mrs. Lucy making live tortillas, can you believe how tasty?
We are watching the process as he makes them all beautiful, she puts them on...
The stove and there are some tortillas that are flat but there are other tortillas...
That they get fat and she explained to us that these tortillas are used for panuchos...
I'm going to put beans, thank you, look what I send you to Lucy, thank you very much...
It looks like an arepa but very thin, the arepa would not be that thin...
And look how delicious, crunchy and she gave me an idea, fill them with beans...
We have some beans left... I if put the beans like this is a bean panucho?
I learned something new
Wonderful Miss Lucy, thank you very much, this is exquisite...
My first meal in Merida, a delicious tamal colado...
As its name says, it is prepared strained, that is, the dough...
Has to go through a process to make it thin...
It is difficult to find it in any part of Mexico I think you come to Yucatan...
And you taste it here, we are going to open the delicious tamale that is stuffed...
I open it like this? It has a plantain leaf
This is a delight
Plantain leaves, it is also stuffed with... Let's see what it's stuffed with...
Stuffed with turkey, tomato, onion, sweet chili, so tasty ...
And you use the sauce like this?
My god, they decorated the plate like a chaya leaf, that's what the chayas look like
Let's try this delight, so much delight is a real sin...
Bon appetit
I love all tamales because they remind me of the flavor of the hallaca
Which is the typical Christmas dish in Venezuela and it is my favorite dish
In the world, I love hallacas and tamales, look what Chris asked for...
A tasty cochinita pibil cake that is the most characteristic of this area
Can I taste your cake?
Yes, I give you permission, the pig is something else, it cannot be shared...
And with me? I share everything with you...
We are going to put onion, if you do not put red onion it is not cochinita
Is it good? I don't what I will choose, it's delicious but I give back your cochinita
What do you like the most? Cochinita with taco or with cake?
With cake, me too... What do you like the most horchata or chaya? Horchata
I want the rico caballero pobre, let's try that dessert to see how it is
Indian eaten, Indian gone, I say goodbye to the restaurant, Sergio stayed there
Waiting for an Uber because he gets lazy after eating going out to record
But we are working people and we are going to show you what we think about this city
On the first day of exploration, the first hours of walking
In the first hours of walking, I see a few tour shops...
Where they sell tours through cenotes, archaeological sites...
I hope that in Merida they don't overwhelm us like in Playa del Carmen or Cancun
Because there it was a lot but you know that I like ...
Going to local places but downtown Merida is something...
That we have to know, I also see many stores with typical clothes
Many guayaberas and uitiles, I want to buy something typical, traditional...
From Mexico to proudly dress for the next videos, what do you think?
The streets are all like that, there are many colonial houses...
there are many cobbled streets, I think this architecture is quite Spanish and...
Also many street vendors with typical clothes, that shirt is very cool...
I love it, Chris bought first than me, he bought this shirt, I bought it...
With Katrinas, really cute but who discovered it, mommy here
I saw it and its super cute, I want one too now
Look how beautiful, we are buying it for 350 pesos
We are arriving at the main square and I am very excited to know the Merida Cathedral...
And its surroundings because they have a lot of Spanish influence
Therefore it is very similar to cities in Venezuela such as the city of Merida...
That is in the Venezuelan Andes
Very important in whatever city you are in, is to take a souvenir photo with the letters
In this case, the ones behind me say merida and I love them because they are big
And colorful, if you come towards the afternoon there will be a lot of people here
Taking pictures, we are daring and we are here...
Two in the afternoon, it's almost three o'clock but it's still very hot today
Today we are lucky that we do not have so much sun on our heads...
We already took the picture so it's definitely something you have to do...
If you are in Merida, take advantage of the beautiful view of the letters...
In the main square, the heat and the sun are hitting you, in this Mexico region
Here and everywhere you have to take care of your skin but here a lot more
I always with my Derma Hill sunscreen which is the best
I brought this from Venezuela, you buy it from those pharmaceuticals that
They are the best and with them, I do all my things of the face including...
Botox, just kidding, I don't use these things, I have eternal youth
We are in the center of the city of Merida, this is where it all began
This was where the Mayans lived, the Mayan city was known
As Ich kan si ho or To, this this city that we know today was founded in 1541
When the Spanish came here and built this cathedral that is behind me
The Merida cathedral which is the first built on the mainland of America
It is only older, the cathedral of Santo Domingo which is on an island
Dominican Republic, around the square there are many people sitting
Resting and I don't know why we are not sitting
Because we are working, we are going for water, it seems to you is fair and necessary
Let's see how much water costs in Merida, he does this because when I record him
In his videos I do not speak but I say yes or no with the camera, I am seeing an Oxxo
I'm taking you there, yes, please
We already have our little water to stay hydrated, drink water
Let's keep walking and explore the streets in the downtown that I love
Because the cathedral is beautiful, look ... It is majestic and although the story ...
It's tough because they built this on top of the Mayan temples
That they were in ruins, is equally enriching
When I lived in the posadas in Mexico, I understood that without the Spanish
Conquest, the posadas would not exist because it is a mixture of the cultures
The people who lived here with the Spanish, with the kingdom of Spain
Who came to conquer us ... We continue exploring
And we arrived at the Manuel Cepeda Peraza square, which I love because...
It is alone, more than the main square, there is shade and also look at these white chairs
That I love them, I think this is my favorite in Merida
The white square chairs and in addition to that...
Look how beautiful the architecture of this building is but the best thing is that ...
There is a Starbucks in this square and a hotel to stay for the night
And waking up the next day must be spectacular and there is another temple
Look ... It looks like a second church, there is Burger King also in a colonial house
Comico, está súper bonito y por aquí esta Chris grabando
Look at more people on the street selling clothes, I need my wipil, it's not fair...
That Chris has his beautiful Catrinas shirt and I still don't have wipil
We have to go to buy it
We are looking for a peasant shirt, look here is one
But I don't know if it convinces me in black because it's very hot here
I want something like white, a huipil, I don't know what to buy, I like everything
Chris likes everything that has flowers and is very colorful with white
So beautiful, yeah...How do I look? Pretty as always, thank you...
Yes, one of this
Let's buy this one, our blouse costs 200 pesos, we will pay for it with a 500 bill
These are the new ones, really cute, a new one
Keep in mind that you have to come with troops because most of the stores...
Don't have POS machine to pay with card
So you need cash in pesos, I'm sad
I couldn't buy my blouse because there was no change for a 500 bill, what do you think?
Now we have to look for another
We came back to the stores from the beginning
But I think that here I am going to find something that I like, let's see the prices
And you don't have these but with flowers? How much it cost? 100
I like that, but you are looking with flowers and look ... That is pretty
This is cute, do you like it?
I'm going to buy the blue one and this one, they both come out in 390, thank you
Here they had change, we are going with our blouses that they will see in next videos
Shopping ready, what do you think? I love the shirts you bought
Here they had change, Chris is a good shopping companion
Because he tells you, I likee this one, I don't like this one, this one is prettier but try it
I like Merida stores better because they have air conditioning
And there are a lot of handicrafts from Oaxaca, Chiapas, a lot of handicrafts
From Chiapas, I would love to go there to buy...
And to have coffee, I think that with this we finished today's video, the first impressions
From Chris, they are on his channel in a video he recorded but they are super
I love this city, do you like me? I believe that the videos that we are going to do here
They will be one of the best of this trip, they will be very beautiful, I'm sure that yes...
Because it is a colonial city, with a lot of European styles and a lot of food
I think we are going to try street food right?
Of course and maybe market food too, so if you recommend us something

Can you believe it? Inside the Oxxo there is a restaurant, have you seen that in Mexico?
