ремонт ноутбуков Country Overview: Mexico
is at the southern extremity of North America and is bounded
by the USA, the Gulf of California, the Pacific, Guatemala,
Belize, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. Mexico's geographical
features range from swamp to desert, and from tropical lowland
jungle to high alpine vegetation. Mexico City, rich in reminders
of ancient civilisations, is also a modern developing city.
In Mexico, temples and cathedrals contrast with futuristic
buildings, motorways and fully-equipped beach resorts. Cholula,
124km (77 miles) from Mexico City, is a pre-Hispanic religious
centre containing more than 400 shrines and temples. The Pyramid
of Tepanapa is the largest of all Mexican pyramids.
Acapulco, situated on Acapulco Bay, is probably the most famous
beach resort in Mexico. The town stretches for over 16km (10
miles) round the bay. It has many beaches as well as numerous
top-class hotels. There are many local specialities, such
as turkey mole, a sauce containing several sorts of chilli,
tomatoes, peanuts, chocolate, almonds, onions and garlic.
Nightlife is vibrant and exciting, featuring international
shows, jazz groups, rock groups, traditional Mexican music
and dancing, Spanish flamenco dancers and gypsy violins.
