Mexico Handbook (Footprint - Travel Guides) [Paperback]

Patrick Maher (Author)

Book Description

Series: Footprint - Travel Guides | Publication Date: May 1, 2000

When Cortés was asked what the country looked like, he reputedly crushed a piece of parchment in his fist, released it and said "That is the map of Mexico". The famed conquistador may have neatly summed up the country's geography, but he certainly wasn't doing much of a selling job for Mexico's considerable appeal. Many countries are described as 'an exotic assault on the senses', but Mexico practically defines exotic. Look up the word in the dictionary and it says 'see Mexico'. Well, okay, it doesn't. But it should.
