The brilliant red flash of a matador's cape, glimmering rainbows of fish that lure the snorkeler, scuba divers and fisherman alike. Throw yourself into the movement that is Mexico. The enticing bustle of the open-air markets, abundant with jewelry, pottery and handcraft bargains. The rhythm and power of the mariachi dancers, turning every performance into a memory to be savored. Fill your soul with the drama that is Mexico. Cliff divers soaring hundreds of feet to uncover an oyster ripe with pearl. Mayan and Aztec pyramids and ruins that reveal the secrets of civilizations centuries old. The colors, the movement, the drama - all combine to form the warmth that is Mexico.

Mexico's colonial cities and towns have changed little since the early 19th century and are now home to more Spanish colonial-era museums, fine art, and monuments than any other country in the world. And although names like Guadalajara, Merida, Oaxaca, Veracruz and Villahermosa may not be well known, but these Colonial Cities of Mexico are well worth a visit. Give yourself over to the warmth of Mexico and learn what it means to celebrate life.
