Valladolid, Mexico
Calz. de Los Frailes, Sisal
N/A
This is a nice stroll. I would highly recommend taking a walk. It starts somewhere near centro (ADO terminal) and leads to the convent. The houses are colorful along the way. Is dotted with some cute cafes and eateries and home decor stores which are quite unique. Some cafes even have bicycles for rent and beautiful garden settings.

The Calzada de los Frailes is a four century old narrow road that connects the Monastery of San Bernardino de Siena, the ancient Mayan barrio of Sisal and the downtown neighborhoods of Valladolid. This is both a residential and commercial street so don't walk into just any door. It is beautiful though and walking down it you feel the blend of the Spanish and Mayan cultures. If you are in need of souvenirs, there is a little shop right at the start called "Colores de Mexico". The prices are a tiny bit high but they are fair and the obviously handcrafted items are carved from the very heart of Mexican culture, blending folk arts of colonial Spanish and indigenous designs like the hand punched tin and wood crosses adorned with little milagros and painted with bright colors that you'd expect to see all across Mexico, but especially in the Caribbean facing Yucatan.
Colorful street full of ancient houses and also some ultra ancient Mayan huts.
Nice walk, you find everything.
Great street it is a nice 15 min walk from the central place to the conventi. There are a few public parking around so it should not be a problem to park your car in exchange for a few pesos.
The nicest place in Valladolid for a walk from the cathedral towards the convent of "San Bernadino de Sienna". There are some nice restaurants, cafes and shops, one little store is in a traditional mayan house.
Calzada de Los Frailes is a beautiful and charming cobbled street in Valladolid that runs diagonally from the centre of the city to the Sisal neighbourhood and the ex-convent. It is lined with pretty, pastel-coloured buildings on both sides which have cute boutique shops, restaurants, cafes, hotels and sidewalk bars. There are some delicious vegan and vegetarian restaurants along the street including Le Kaat, Yerbabuena and Elela (the last two are situated on the street across from the convent). I loved wandering along this street and taking photos of the pretty buildings. It was generally quiet, although the street is open to vehicles, so it could get busy at times. It was lovely to explore here!
Quiet and pretty street leading from the town square to San Bernardino de Siena with cafes, restaurants, souvenir and upmarket clothing shops. Nice for taking photos and seeing a different part of the town.
