A pre-Columbian and colonial city, Mexico is also avant-garde. The 21st century has seen some of the most extraordinary high-tech architectural projects emerge there. On the traditional side, the “tianguis” (markets) already fascinated the conquistadors at the time of Tenochtitlan. They are numerous, immense, and colourful, with something for every taste and every budget. On the folklore side, “Coucouroucoucou” takes place in Garibaldi Square, where the famous mariachis gather, dressed in their sparkling costumes and donning the iconic sombrero. An hour’s drive from Mexico City, colonial Mexico is the country’s baroque and historical jewel, home to many colonial towns listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites: Patzcuaro, Tzintzuntzan, Queretaro and San Miguel de Allende.
