Leona Vicario

This nearby town is named after a sister of the Mexican revolution, who helped the rebels finally achieve independence in 1821, and married Andres Quintana Roo, who was also a major player in the revolution. In 11 years of coming to PM, we had never driven the 30 km along the Cenote Road to the end. Not sure what the population is, smaller than PM, but every road in Leona Vicario is beautifully paved, putting PM to shame with our 3 foot deep potholes.



Town square (zocolo) is like most local towns - centre for basketball, social outings and social gatherings. 



We could not for the life of us find even one restaurant...???.....so followed the local action to this place...the local chicken grill!

This one guy was doing all the cooking, and because the grill closed, the chicken cooked in no time. There had to be 10 of us waiting for chicken, very patiently, as the Mexicans know how to do, but boy, was it worth it!!! Sorry, Guadalupe, we may have to drive to Leona Vicario from now on for our grilled chicken....it is wonderful!!!
