花之都哈拉帕 Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico 墨西哥



哈拉帕 Xalapa ( Jalapa ) 是韋拉克魯斯州 Veracruz首府,西班牙人殖民時期認為本地是小花 Florecita 的家鄉,因而稱呼本地為花之都 The City of Flowers 。


來到本地真的是在 Puebla 巴士總站臨時決定,因為由 Puebla 往 Veracruz 必須購買一等巴士車票,下一班巴士要等四小時。同一條路線的中途站哈拉帕 Xalapa 算是短程,幾乎每半小時就有一班巴士,不用等侯。


來到 CAXA ( Central de Autobuses Xalapa ) 巴士總站,手上沒有地圖,巴士站也沒有地圖,沒關係!來到墨西哥很快就習慣隨心所欲的住遊,最後在這裡住了二晚,也體會到本地人的好客與友誼。

Xalapa, or Jalapa; officially Xalapa-Enríquez, is the capital city of the Mexican state of Veracruz. The city's nickname La ciudad de las flores ("The City of Flowers"), the Spaniards believed that Xalapa was the birthplace and home of the Florecita, which literally means "little flower".
