Is this the destination for you?
If you like your tacos and enchiladas and want to learn about pre-Hispanic culture, see traditional towns or laze on idyllic beaches, then a
trip to Mexico is on the cards. Try to learn some Spanish beforehand. If you don't want to, then holiday north of the border.
