Many renovations in Mérida add new structures and buildings that purposefully look old in an attempt to make them fit with the existing building. The result can at times be a bit Disneyland.
We love the outdoor bar at Hacienda Ochil. It demonstrates how a new and modern structure can work with an old building. Instead of remodelling to accomodate a new bar in the old style, the old walls act as a backdrop for a new idea.
