Veracruz 500 años. La ciudad de coral (1519 - 1911) 1ra parte.

Summary In April of 1519, the Spanish captain Hernán Cortés founded with his men an imaginary villa in front of the islet of San Juan de Ulúa, in a solitary beach where it seemed impossible to build anything. From such an arduous foundation, Veracruz coexisted with adversities, coping with them in some cases and confronting them directly in others. The inclement heat and the furious north winds, the deadly epidemics, the pirate attacks and foreign interventions shook the port many times without ever defeating it and without taking from the "jarochos" its proverbial joy. Thus, over the invention of the conqueror, the most important port in Mexico was built of sea stone -the famous "piedra muca"-, creating a singular, multi-ethnic city rich in cultural traditions.
