Surreal Campeche

Campeche, a town on the coast, was recognised as a Unesco World Heritage site some years back, and has been immaculately preserved. So much so that the entire place feels kind of like a movie set. Houses and buildings are painted in bright colours, and the centre is walled in, built in the 1600s (I think!) to protect itself from (mostly pirate) attacks...

Unfortunately for us, most of the wall was under restoration when we visited!

A peek inside a home we passed... And some questionable dresses in a shop!

 Beware, pirates!
