Monterrey Mexico Travel Reviews
  Jul 24, 2007
I stayed outside the city and have to say that's the way to go. If you like to shop (ladies) then you might want to drive into town and you'll have more at your fingertips than you can imagine. No haggling in the large shopping centers but in the smaller markets, have at it! I purchased a hand made bathroom sink for $25 that would have cost several hundred in the US!
For the adventurer, I would try and find some of the smaller, off the beaten path places. Although you won't get Ritz Carlton accomidations, you'll get more of a genuine Mexican experience. The people that live in the suburbs are very friendly and you'll quickly learn that posessions are worthless but the family structure is far superior to the US. The local food is wonderful (have families cook, no resturaunts) and people are always willing to share. Enjoy! |
