Plaza Grande on a Friday night.
A good weekend in Mérida needs little planning and a willingness to wander.
Plaza Grande fills up with live music. Arrive before 8 pm for a good spot.
Breakfast at Mercado Lucas de Gálvez, then head to a nearby cenote for the afternoon.
The Bici Ruta turns Paseo de Montejo into a bike lane. Finish with brunch in García Ginerés.
