 Veracruz was the first town founded by the Spanish in Mexico in 1519. A port was built and it became one of the most important in the country.
Over the next several centuries, the port was invaded and taken over by pirates. Ships from the United States that landed in the port were ravaged by Dutch, French, and English buccaneers. Soon a fortress was built to protect the city and part of it still stands today.
Veracruz is Mexico’s principle port of entry, but is now starting to lose its importance. Music, such as marimba, danzonera, and comparsa, and dancing are very important here. Veracruz is home to the famous song, La Bamba. |
