Introducing Xalapa
In the verdant skirts of stunning Cofre de Perote, this urbane, culturally vibrant state capital possesses trendy, if not cosmopolitan, inclinations. Xalapa – which is sometimes spelled ‘Jalapa’ but always pronounced ‘ha-la-pa’ – balances out traffic problems with gorgeous nature parks and well-designed, enjoyable public spaces. The city’s superb anthropological museum is definitely a highlight. Xalapa’s temperate climate can be refreshing – drizzly, chilly days are common in winter. Take patchouli-lovin’ refuge next to university students in the slew of hip bars and coffeehouses. At least a couple of days are needed if you really want to get know the city.
