TAMPICO Neither authors nor historians have been able to agree on Tampico's real meaning: Place of sea dogs, or place of otters. Local historians have assumed that in ancient times, old habitants used to pronounce Tampeck, and then this would be transformed into Tan-Piceh and Tampiquetl; so eventually the word Tampico would be born. The relationship between "pik" which is dogs for huastec, and peck which is dogs for mayan; it seems to be clear that Tampico comes from Huasteco's Tam which is place, and pik which is dog. The port of Tampico is the most important commercial city in the Tamaulipas state; it grows quickly and it's also called to be one of the first class cities in Mexico. Southern Tamaulipas is an area that encourages excitement and other emotions. You just need to let carry away from it.
