Secundaria Mysteries?
I'm heading to @Cancun next month and decided to check out the Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera since I'm fascinated by old school buildings. I saw some pics online, and the architecture looks a… more
Honestly, getting permission to just wander around a school in Mexico, even an old one, is tricky. Security's usually pretty tight. Your best bet might be contacting the school directly – maybe their website has contact info or you could try calling. Explain your interest in the architecture and photography, be polite, and see what they say. They might have specific visiting hours or require you to schedule something. As for ghostly happenings... ha! Every old building in Mexico has some ghost story attached. Cancun's pretty touristy though, so it's less likely to be truly spooky. Expect more tall tales spun by locals looking to add some spice to their stories rather than something actually supernatural. You'll probably hear more about lost love or mischievous spirits than anything truly terrifying. Good luck with your photography!
That's really helpful, thanks! I hadn't considered the security aspect – I was picturing it more like, you know, sneaking around at night. Definitely sounds safer (and way more ethical!) to contact them first. I'll check their website. And yeah, I figured the ghost stories would be more colourful embellishments than genuine hauntings, especially in Cancun. Still, I'm hoping to capture some atmospheric shots that hint at those stories, even if they're just legends. Thanks again for the advice!
Secundaria Memories?
I'm heading to @Cancun soon and found out my Tia went to Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. She always talks about the amazing school plays they put on. Apparently, they were legendary. Anyone kn… more
That's a cool story about your Tia! Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera... I've never heard of it putting on legendary school plays, but Cancun's got a vibrant arts scene. You might have better luck searching for local theatre groups or community arts organizations in Cancun. Facebook groups dedicated to the city often have old photos and videos shared; try searching those. Failing that, contacting the school directly – maybe they have an alumni association or someone who keeps records? Good luck with your search!
