Monterrey... my hometown


This is Monterrey and our beautiful mountain "Cerro de la Silla" (Horse saddle mountain) which is our city symbol. I invite you to visit Monterrey, a great city that has it all. Delicious food, top of the line museums, art galleries, handcrafts markets, modern shopping malls, luxurious hotels, first level universities, and a privileged geographical location from which the name "The City of Mountains" was born.

Founded more than four centuries ago, it represents an interesting cultural mosaic with great educative institutions, very interesting museums, historical places, cultural spaces, sports facilities, and most of all, with great hardworking people with a big, big heart.

All these factors have made it possible for Monterrey to be recognized internationally. In 2007 Monterrey hosted the main event "Fórum Universal de las Culturas 2007" which placed our city in the eyes of the world.

When you visit Monterrey, you will enjoy beautiful sightseeings, Mexican and international restaurants with mouthwatering food, fantastic night life, excellent amusement parks, beautiful mountains where you can walk, ride a bicycle, hike, practice some extreme sports.

Dare to taste our most famous traditional dish "Cabrito" (baby goat), and our very own, original machaca (dried beef) You also will be delighted with our regional milk candy in a wide variety of presentations. It´s like homemade and I will tell you all about it as I keep writing my blog.
