Why You Should Spend This Year’s Three-Day Valentine’s Weekend in Mexico

Not only does Valentine’s Day fall on a Saturday this year, but also on a three-day weekend for many thanks to President’s Day. The long weekend is a great time to take advantage of time off and embark on a trip filled with love. Mexico is the perfect destination for love birds, whether it be exploring the cobblestone streets of San Miguel de Allende, seeing the sites in Mexico City, or unplugging and relaxing in Zihuatanejo.
