Mayan ruins - Tulum proud

It is cheap to eat locally, but sometimes one might be a little disappointed with the food. As always, there are good cooks and less good cooks. Breakfast consisted of tacos from a small street kitchen. There were many locals who had their breakfast there. But we regretted our choice of a little eatery when we saw how they prepared food. The chopped chicken into pieces and kept messing around with your fingers in it. Often it is a whole family working in the same small street kitchen. Chairs and tables made up on the street. Mothers, sisters, aunts and grandmothers are busy to cook meat, cut lettuce, kneading, pressing and baking tortillas. Bread enhance investor ensures accepting orders. Fathers sits just above and watch it all. Street Kitchens can always recommended too often they are quite good. A little place is so popular that people stand in line to wait for a table or get up and eat. But the food is really good - a taco costs just 7 pesos. There is only open in the evening. Look for a small primitive site, located at the end of Tulum furthest away from the beach - near the Hotel Maya on main street. Tulum Mayan ruins located in the beautiful views of the Caribbean. Entrance fee 51 pesos. Tulum means "wall" and the name symbolizes the wall that surrounded the old city. The name is given in recent times. The citys original name was "Zama" and refers to the beautiful sunrises, as seen over the Caribbean. Tulum had its heyday from 1200-1500 century, when its position facing the Caribbean made the city into an important part of all trade along the Caribbean coast. The ships were not built strong enough to sail on the high seas, therefore, they sailed close along the country to steer clear of the bigger waves. When Europeans arrived with their ships wondered Mayan Indians over who it was who came sailing, and they were friendly. The sailing merchants wondering what treasures hid in the country. Unfortunately they also brought diseases which ended the Maya culture in Tulum. There is an election tomorrow. New mayor to be elected, so it is strictly forbidden to serve alcohol at all restaurants and bars. What a shame when its Saturday ... But then the city council when assured that no one is at home with a hangover and forget to vote.
