Nostalgia
can be felt
closely in the
Port of Tampico
as in few other
places in
Mexico. Warm,
friendly and
including, the
people from
Tampico know how
to treat
visitors, be
they immigrants,
tourists or just
passing through.
It is the city
where one
thousand
languages have
ceased to exist
and where one
thousand voices
have stuttered
their first
words in
Spanish. It is
also a happy,
fun-loving city
that was built
by hard labour
and with the
richness of the
land and the
sea, and it has
an extraordinary
history.
Tampico looks
especially
attractive
today, as it has
been looked
after and
rejuvenated by
its inhabitants,
who are very
proud of their
city. The
archetypal
wooden houses
and big elegant
buildings
combine together
to form a most
unusual Mexican
urban landscape.
Walking through
the Historic
Center of
Tampico is like
walking towards
the beginnings
of the modern
age.
But Tampico is
not only
tradition, its
urban
development took
into
consideration,
the spaces for
recreation and
amusement, and
visitors can
fill the hours
doing a lot of
really fun
things: parks,
lakes,
archaeological
sites, modern
bridges and the
space reserved
for the
conservation of
nature is
limited only by
the warm sea of
the Gulf of
Mexico.
