The prevalence in the use of white limestone in the construction of many of its buildings gave Mérida its nickname “The White City.”

Wonderful photo report from Mérida. Juan Pérez looks prosperous. And there's not much left of the Hotel Sevilla judging by the door.

As for the meals you mention, I can't even imagine them. The names are a bit strange. 😅
