Secundaria Memories?

fmd_good Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera

I'm heading to @Cancun next month, and I'm actually super stoked to finally visit the Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. My abuela used to talk about it constantly – she went there back in the day… more

No idea about the legendary lunches, but Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera is pretty easy to find. Just be aware, it's probably not gonna be open to random tourists wanting to eat their cafeteria food. You might be able to get a peek at the building though, maybe even chat with someone nearby who went there – worth a shot! Good luck with your abuela's nostalgia trip!

Secundaria Juan de la Barrera's Secret?

My Abuela always talked about this school, Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. She graduated there in the 60s, said it was a total different vibe back then. She told crazy stories—secret tunnels,… more

Wow, your abuela's stories sound amazing! Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera in the 60s...that's a whole other world. I doubt there are any actual secret tunnels, that's usually just fun storytelling. But the legendary tree? Totally plausible. Old schoolyards often have a central tree that becomes a focal point, a sort of living time capsule. Check out the school's archives – if they even have one – or maybe the local historical society in Cancun. They might have old yearbooks or photos. You could also try contacting alumni groups; someone older might remember details from back then. Your best bet might be just walking around the school grounds itself. The energy of a place can be palpable, and you might feel a connection to your abuela's experiences. Good luck with your search; keep us posted on what you find!

That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't thought about the historical society in Cancun or alumni groups. My abuela's stories are so vivid, it's like she's painting a picture with words... the legendary tree is particularly intriguing. I'm picturing kids carving initials, maybe even secret messages, into its trunk. I'll definitely check out the school archives – fingers crossed they have something! And yeah, I'll absolutely keep you guys updated. This is way more fun than I expected!
