Why Go on a Mexico City Amble?
Mexico City can appear to be an architectural hodgepodge, a jumble of buildings from various centuries. Structures from the Spansh Colonial period (1521-1821), adapted to contemporary uses, are enmeshed with newer neighbors from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Contemporary neighborhoods stand next to ones that are centuries old. But if this jumble is viewed as an archeological site, a horizontal one, with artifacts of different eras standing side by side, one can begin to make sense of it. That is the perspective and goal of Mexico City Ambles.
Mexico City Ambles takes you through many of Mexico City’s neighborhoods, from colonias that were planned subdivisions for the upper classes of the late 19th century to pueblos and barrios that have were origianally indigenous villages that existed for hundreds of years before the Spanish arrived. All are sites that are off the beaten tourist path and interesting for their history, culture, architecture and/or neighborhood life. Come, join us.
