CARMEN-3-TAMPICO


TAMPICO, MEXICO




I would like to invite  you to my city, Tampico. It  is in the north of Mexico close to the Gulf of Mexico, this picture is Miramar beach which is located a few kilometers from Tampico, this beach is visited by many people that live close to Tamaulipas which is the state where it is my city.

Tampico's downtown is really nice, its architecture is eclectic mix and reflex the growth of the city during the rule of President Porfirio Diaz (he governed Mexico for 30 years, from 1890 to 1910). It includes many New Orleans style balconies, mostly built of English cast iron.


The tipical dish of Tampico are crabs that you can eat in diffent styles and in general seafood, there's a special dish that was invented in Tampico, tortas of the fence, this name is because the person who did it for the first time sold this food close to the fence of a company and the people began to call it as "tortas of the fence"


fill crabs

            

The weather in Tampico is extremely humid, in summer heat indexes reaching 40 centigres degrees. So, if you want to come, bring with you fresh clothes, it could be very hot for you, but I will be very pleased to have you in my place.
