Mindful meoweler tips

Beach paradise

Ciudad Madero boasts beautiful beaches that are worth lounging on. Stick to the main public beaches and avoid the more remote ones.

Incredible food

Mexican cuisine is rightly famed for its variety and flavors, and Tampico and Ciudad Madero have an array of different food options available. Be sure to try the region's specialty dish - huachinango a la talla.

Safety first

Although crime levels have gone down in Tamaulipas over recent years, it's important to exercise caution particularly at night. Consider sticking to well-lit main streets and avoid venturing out alone.
