DOWN MEXICO WAY!
Mexico is an ancient, exotic land filled with scenic beauty and a charm all its own. The sights, sounds and smells of our neighbor to the South are like nowhere else. From the music of strolling mariachis to sizzling cabrito and frosty Margaritas to the vendors lining the streets with intriguing wares, there is something to tantalize every sense.
Enter any border market and the aroma of leather and wicker fills your nose. Vendors of all types line the streets with fine wooden carvings, leather goods, wicker baskets, tortilla holders, hammocks, cowboy hats and sombreros, ponchos, silver jewelry and more. Curio shops invite the eye with bright displays from Mexican artisans. Check out the richly colored hand-woven blankets in the curio shops. You'll be amazed at the prices.
Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa and Matamoros ~ the three largest Mexican cities on the border ~ offer very similar experiences. All are large, modern towns replete with curio shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs, and all have symbiotic relationships with their counterparts across the border: Laredo, McAllen and Brownsville. Citizens from each side frequent the other to shop, and the cities work together, most visibly on two plant or "maquiladora" programs.
Quaint Nuevo Progreso sits just minutes south of Weslaco and Mercedes. Small in scale compared to other border towns, this may be the perfect place for the first-time visitor to experience a Mexican border town. Its streets are lined with small malls, curio shops, clothes stores, boot stores, etc. The multistory Progreso Market has more than two dozen shops featuring arts and crafts from all over Mexico as well as a grocery section and a pharmacy.
