Located approximately 43 miles north of Veracruz, is the quaint fishing village of Villa Rica. Thought to be the location of the first Spanish settlement in Mexico, vistors can now explore the remains of a fort and a church on the Cerro de la Cantera. Villa Rica is also ideal for those wanting to relax on the sandy beaches, or for swimming in the pristine ocean. Situated atop a hill, overlooking the coast is Quiahuiztlán. Located near Villa Rica, this archeological site is home to ancient Totonac tombs. Meaning precious stone in the Totonac language, Quiahuiztlán was used as an Indian burial site for wealthy individuals from the nearby town of Zempoala.
