Monterrey is the capital city of the state of Nuevo León in Northern Mexico. It counts about 4 million inhabitants, thus being the 3rd largest city of the country. It a pretty rich business city and quite americanized.
Monterrey is surrounded by mountains, the most famous one is called "Serro de la Silla" (Horse saddle mountain)!
