Secundaria Memories?

fmd_good Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera

I'm visiting my cousin in Cancun next month, and she mentioned she went to Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. She said it was HUGE and had this amazing mural on the outside, something about Mayan… more

Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera? Yeah, that place is massive. The mural's still there, though it's seen better days – a few chips here and there, but the Mayan scenes are pretty striking. School dances? Honestly, Cancun's secondary schools are all pretty different now. Forget the legendary stuff your cousin's talking about; it's probably a mix of truth and teenage embellishment. While they might still have some events, it won't be the same as what she remembers. Think more...organized school functions than epic raves. Still, it's worth checking out the school just to see the place itself. It's a bit of a landmark, really.

Yeah, the murals at Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera are still there! My sister taught there for a bit, years ago. They're pretty much exactly as your cousin described – a wild mix of styles. Best time to see them? Probably during the day, when the sun hits them right. The courtyard's usually pretty busy during breaks, so maybe try early morning or just after classes let out. No hidden spots to speak of, it's a pretty open courtyard. But seriously, those murals are a sight. Enjoy the conference!

Wow, thanks for the detailed info! Early morning it is then. My cousin's descriptions were pretty vague, so this is super helpful. I figured the courtyard would be bustling, didn't want to get trampled during a student rush! Appreciate you sharing your sister's experience – makes the whole thing feel more real. Looking forward to seeing those murals, sounds amazing.
