MUNDO MAYA : Yucatan Todo un país en si mismo, así es como los visitantes de Yucatán describen este estado mexicano que está lleno de posibles aventuras, desde el sabor decididamente extranjero de la Mérida colonial, su ciudad capital, hasta sus imponentes templos y pirámides mayas, su gran extensión de playas desiertos y su casi interminable selva esmeralda. Aunque el clima sub-tropical de Yucatán puede ser húmedo con lluvias considerables de mayo a septiembre, es bastante agradable durante todo el año, teniendo suaves brisas y condiciones más secas de octubre a abril. Cuando de explorar Yucatán se trata, todos los caminos lleva a la placentera Mérida, su capital. www.ccu.umich.mx /mmaya/estados/yucatan/yucatan.html

gpains.htm In particular, I focus on the PAN's experiences in three important cases of local government; León (Guanajuato), Mérida (Yucatán), and Tijuana (Baja California); cases which are fairly representative of the party's recent electoral successes and which are representative of Mexico's three major regions (north, center, and south-east). PAN activism in Baja California dates back well beyond the party's first recognized municipal triumph in Ensenada in 1986 and its clear predominance in the state since 1989. The PAN's first successes in Mérida came after nearly two decades of virtual non-existence as the party languished in the wake of the fraud and repression of the 1969 gubernatorial elections stolen from the party's first mayor of Mérida, Victor Correa Racho. weber.ucsd.edu /~dshirk/gpains.htm   (413 words)
