Valladolid is a sleepy, mid-size Mexican town in the center of the tourist circuit of the Yucatan Mayan ruins. Not many tourists stop here, so it made a nice respite from the party-mad and photo-mad tourist groups. There's not loads to do here, but cycling out to the nearby cenotes (underground, fresh-water caves) was very rewarding and refreshing. We found very good street food and friendly people. Hotel Maria de Guadeloupe is a nice budget option...
