Best Western Hotel San Jorge, Ciudad Obregon

Advantages: cultural history, people, WOMAD festival
Disadvantages: small town, campus location

...into the Old city. Re-built by the famous Manuel de Larra Churriguera (who created its own style, Churrigueresco style), the Arch shows the heraldic of the city and it holds the Virgin of the Star, a stone little figure (Virgen de la Estrella) next to a little star-shaped light lamp. When visiting the city this is one of the most charming places to see, and also a little bit frightening at night… SANTA MARIA is the Co cathedral of Caceres (sharing title with the city of Coria and its own co cathedral : ). It was built following Romanic style around the XV century. It is situated in Santa Maria square, next to San Jorge square.

Advantages: Great skiing trails!
Disadvantages: Not for the olds!

Disadvantages: food was often fairly poor

...A few years ago I went on a cultural tour of Mexico, visiting Mexico City, Merida, Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Oaxaca, Palenque and Monte Alban. Getting There The journey to Mexico from London Heathrow was easy and uneventful (apart from being upgraded to first class then being forced to use the Concorde Lounge. The First Class Lounge was being renovated) A direct BA flight taking just over 11 hours. Mexico City We had nothing booked on arrival apart from the first night's accommodation at the Best Western Majestic Hotel. This was a lucky choice as it must be one of the best in Mexico City, on the west side of Zocalo, the main square, with a 7th floor roof-terrace and restaurant overlooking the enormous plaza de la Constrictucion, Catedral Metroplitana and Palacio National. An absolutely fantastic location, and the roof terrace makes... Read review
