Monterrey, the city of the mountains

Another nice place to go and visit in Mexico is Monterrey, Nuevo Leon.

Monterrey is the third largest city in Mexico, and one of the most important in terms of Industry, culture, and food. 

If you are planning a trip to the north of Mexico, Monterrey is a city you don't want to miss. 

It's most unique characteristic is that is a city surrounded by mountains, the Cerro de la Silla, or "Saddle Mountain", dominates the landscape.



You cannot miss the Grutas de Garcia (Garcia Caves) and Cola de Caballo (The Cascade Cola de Caballo)











Monterrey is also well-known for its good food, such as Carne Asada, Cabrito, and Machacado.
Soccer is also very important in Monterrey, and one of the most important Universities in Mexico, ITESM is located in this city too.
