Mexico Travel Guide
Shopping in Mexico
Ask any American why they travel to Mexico and I bet one of the reasons is “shopping for bargains”. Let’s see what Mexico has to offer that’s so appealing for the travelers.
Mexico is really cosmopolite when it comes to shopping: there are street vendors, open air markets, boutiques, supermarkets and malls.
Opening hours
In the large cities and in the beach resorts, shops are open daily from 10 (or 11) AM to 10 PM (even 12 AM). In the rest of the country, shops generally close at about 2 PM or 4 PM. Make sure to ask locally though.

Bullfights in Mexico
Bullfights are traditional in Mexico and there are about 220 permanent bullrings all over Mexico. The season starts in November and ends in April.
While some consider that bullfighting is never fair because the bull dies, it’s also important to remember that as much as a quarter of the bullfighters are seriously injured at least once during their careers.
For someone who has never seen a bullfight, the event seems dangerous, thrilling and cruel. Despite its popularity in Mexico, bullfighting seems to stumble and head for its own demise, having to fight for the audience.

Destination Weddings in Mexico
The next time one of your friends gets engaged ask the girl whether she’d like to go to Mexico and get married. If she is giving it another thought it means she doesn’t like to travel. Because having a destination wedding in Mexico is a dream come true for most of the girls, even if they don’t care much about traveling.
Weddings in Mexico have been popular mostly among Northern Americans for a long while. Although new romantic destinations pop up every year, Mexico is still among the preferred ones, especially for the Americans.
