The city of Veracruz is a major port city on the Gulf of Mexico in the Mexican state of Veracruz. It is Mexico`s third largest Gulf city (after Tampico and Coatzacoalcos-Minatitlán) and an important port on Mexico`s east coast. It is located 105 km (65 mi.) along Federal Highway 140 from the state capital Xalapa, and is the state`s third most populous city (after the Coatzacoalcos-Minatitlán conurbation and Orizaba), with a population of about 500,000 in 2000. It is often referred to as Puerto de Veracruz to distinguish it from the state. The people of Veracruz are known as jarochos.

The city is known for its rich traditions of music, including marimba bands, danzonera and comparsa. A special kind of music called son jarocho, a mix of mexican folk music and cuban son, was developed in southern Veracruz state, in and around Veracruz, Veracruz. La Bamba is the most famous example of son jarocho. An equally rich dance tradition parallels Veracruz`s unique musical styles.

In downtown Veracruz, a large marble-tiled zócalo, called the Plaza de Armas or Plaza Lerdo, is the heart of the city`s lively nightlife. It is lined with arcades that house bars and cafes. On a nearly nightly basis large groups of people sit outside in the plaza enjoying food, drinks and cigars, while they watch musicians and dancers that perform in the square. Veracruz`s 18th century cathedral and 17th century Palacio Municipal are also located on the plaza.

The yearly Carnaval festival in Veracruz, a nine-day party in February or March, is the most spectacular festival of its kind in Mexico. The city also celebrates a yearly Afrocaribeno festival in July. These fesivities illustrate the fact that the city is in many ways more connected to Caribbean culture than that of inland Mexico.

The malecón harbor-front walk along the docks draws many tourists, more from within Mexico than foreigners. The city has several beaches as well, like Villa del Mar and Mocambo.
