Monterrey, Mexico: Macroplaza & Barrio Antiguo

Last year, Jaime and I visited Monterrey, Mexico, for work.

My wife and I have been to Mexico several times, but Monterrey was new for us. On the first day, we visited the Macroplaza – the main square in the heart of the city, home to museums, government buildings, and a riverwalk.

It was busy: tons of people strolling the main plaza, selling goods, and enjoying the city. What’s so fun about traveling is to be a stranger in a strange land, and to observe.

Be there with a camera and capture what’s interesting. 

After a river boat ride on the Santa Lucia riverway into Parque Fundidora, we strolled through the Barrio Antigua neighborhood just in time to browse a flea market on the street.

We grabbed dinner and stepped inside the largest antique store we’d ever seen – a multi-story museum of collectibles. 

Colors, light, sound, smells – it was a great first day in a new Mexican city.
