Mingle with the local culture.
The local walls are adorned with murals from artists around the world. There’s only one bar and dance cub. The food trucks smell of rich food and an entrepreneurial spirit. I can’t put it into words. Check out my Snapchat video for just a little taste of a day in Holbox…
