This is a nice place to visit, it used to be a very famous prison, is the Mexican version of Alcatraz. 4 Mexican Presidents were in this jail. Has a lot of history. It was very hard for prisoners to escape, but there were some that were able to do so. You have to visit if you go to Veracruz!!

This is still a pueblito even though it is only a short way off the main hwy on the outskirts of town near the water where they are building new hotels. I had the Robalo (sea bass) a la plancha (grilled) and it was really good. The other choice is Huachinango (red snapper). The people are really friendly. Paid a 3 piece band (they were good) 70 pesos to play la vida no valle nada. Kind of out of the ordinary for Veracruz but everyone knows it. Took the boat (lancha) ride in the lagoon. Glad I went there.
