Who doesn't remember those days where you first discover a city? Even when it starts becoming familiar, those first memories remain vibrant like the first moments we spend with new friends, and every encounter can be a unique experience for each visitor.
Meeting a place often starts when you leave the main way and the well-known areas. I am not there yet with Mexico, but I'm trying.
Here is a few insights into my quest...
On la avenida Balderas, el centro historico de Mexico changes from a highly touristic area into a more popular one. La avenida leads to the charming Mercado de la Cuidadela, where the most of Mexican handicraft is beautifully featured in a lovely atmosphere.
La calle Independencia, in between La Reforma and el mercado hosts relevently el Museo de Arte Popular where examples of Mexican traditions, cloths, religious and traditional objects are presented in a beautiful art deco building.
It is a lovely way to deepen in el distrito federal, after a first tour of el Zocalo, el Palacio Nacional, and el Museo de Bellas Artes.
On my second day, I also mingled in the Saturday crowd at the Franz Mayer Museum, on la Avenida Hidalgo, which actually shows the World Press Photo exhibition.
