Veracruz: Places to Explore

Tlacotalpan

The name Tlacotalpan is of Nahuatl origin and means "in the middle of the earth," referring to the settlement's location on what was then an island. Once a prosperous port city, Tlacotalpan, now more run-down, still charms with rustic, century-old houses, all in colors that might have been inspired by a candy shop.
