A little bit of press goes a long, long way

In the winter of 2014 I spent a week with Joanna Weinberg who wrote about our experiences for Conde Nast Traveler.  Joanna is a food critic from London who has a cooking school and blog in Somerset. In the winter of 2012 Sara Ruffin Costello came and wrote an article for the New York Times where she called me Merida's social conduit. That same year Catherine Watson wrote about Merida in the LA Times. Sara James came to Merida and she wrote an article for the September 2011 Departures Magazine about the food scene in Merida.  This year David Sterling won two James Beard awards for his cookbook titled, YUCATAN.  Rick Bayliss did a season on the Yucatan for his cooking show in...Martha Stewart came to test the sorbet in 2009. the famous chefs Jeremiah Tower and Rene Redzepi spend as much time as possible here and both have been interviewed about their favorite place for tacos.  Guy Saddy's wrote about the spirit of Merida for Enroute Magazine in 2010. But for us it was the David Keeps article for Travel+Leisure Magazine that put Merida on the map.  It was David's idea that we rent our homes to vacationers and we were the first in Merida to do so.   

Here is your path 

to the latest articles about Merida and the Yucatan.

I've compiled links to the best articles written about the areas for visitors and new residents alike.
