Hello archi lovers!
Once again we discover cities of the world and we look at everything we see, we look around us to discover nice architecture and fascinating designs in buildings, monuments, facades and also many more details of interesting and relevant urban spaces visited by many people, including us.
And again we look back at Mexico City, the capital of the country, to see other points of interest that we see as we walk through its streets. And for important streets, the most iconic is Paseo de la Reforma Avenue, one of the longest in the world and that's where we start.
Paseo de la Reforma Avenue
A large avenue, imposing and long, very long, we do not go through it completely because we cannot see the end but in its central sections congested by traffic everything seems to flow suddenly, and suddenly we also discover details that seem to take us to a European city .
Its roundabouts are all adorned by impressive monuments, beautiful golden statues that look like they have flown directly from Paris, royal fountain crowned with the goddess Diana the huntress (it caught my attention) and other statues of indigenous inspiration. All of them, in any case, works of art inspired by other times with the intention of turning that vital artery into a place worthy of a walk, but be careful with the traffic.
And they also have something in common: the background and environment. Because if we look around, other buildings appear behind but they contrast due to their different design, modern architecture of glass, straight lines and edges.
But the modern atmosphere continues if we continue walking, as we find many shops and fancy restaurants, I noticed one in particular because it reminded me of my country (L'Albufera is a lagoon near Valencia, in Spain) so it will be a restaurant of Spanish gastronomy. Good.
But without a doubt, nothing stands out more than an iconic figure with a strident and cheerful color: "the little horse" (el Caballito). That welcomes us to one of those complexes and office buildings and a lot of movement. On another gray and dark day, the color yellow and that powerful design gives us light and energy.
And we look further… when does it end?
Some parks
But we can go to other places. Because further away there are also parks and quieter places with more vegetation than another large flag of Mexico appears so that we don't forget where we are. But we cannot forget if we visit a special place.
Frida Kahlo House
If we go very far south, I think, in addition to canals and boats, we can go to an iconic place par excellence. Who doesn't know Frida Kahlo? We visited her house, her spectacular blue house, with a beautiful open patio, inside some old photos hanging like in a museum, but what we like most is the life and the intense color. An unmissable visit.
Bar Tenempa
There isn't much left to visit this city, so at the end of the day let's visit an emblematic place to have a little of that famous tequila in the very popular Tenempa bar again in a central area, and which has a beautiful classic decoration as nineteenth-century and in turn also its own style, colorful and from the land, in a fun fusion. And how could it be otherwise, a place full of mariachis singing those rancheras that we all hum once. Viva México.
Now we will have to visit some other interesting place and then a very important area outside the city, all that soon...

InfoGreetings @duvinca, Mexico has an incredible architecture that mixes traditional and autochthonous elements with modernism forming a great architectural mosaic; this area has incredible buildings 7 sculptures that represent the Mexican culture; ah the plaza el Angel , I have only seen it in the tele novelas heh, heh; the photos are great and show great details of these impressive works of construction.
Have a nice day!
Hello dear @belkyscabrera I see you have learn well even in the telenovelas, it's not a joke, you can learn interesting things if you see them differently as you do. Sometimes when we travel we listen to many names and data and later we do not remember all jaja just those who caught more your attention. But I liked a lot those statues and monuments, it was like walking in Paris or something similar. Nice surprises and a cool contrast of different styles and times.
Have a happy day!
It is true that TV novels usually show the most emblematic places of the countries, even the cultural and social aspects that identify them as citizens, thank you for sharing your visit to Mexico, it was a pleasure to read your lines.
Yes it's another way to learn about far and different places, and we can see other details as well.
Thanks a lot for your words and for commenting!!
Mexico is amazing, I like its architectural richness and has many interesting places, thanks for making us this tour. Greetings
Yes so true, I felt surprising due to the variety of styles, buildings, monuments, etc... where you can learn from its culture and history, it was a very pleasant time there. Thanks to you for commenting!
What a beautiful avenue with so many beautiful sculptures, a gift for the eyes and an encounter with its culture and history👌❤️
Yes very impressive huge avenue, but during the walk you can discover many interesting things and those wonderful sculptures like being in an European city, very elegant all and a great contrast of different architectures and styles, all as you say full of history and culture!
Thanks a lot dear!
in the second and third pictures, the monument looks very tall and attractive, especially the statue with wings. Plus the paint color further emphasizes that the monument is very tough and peaceful in one frame.
Yes it's bigger than expected in some photos it look normal but in other as you well say you can see how tall is this, by comparing to the people's size. And it's elegant and beautiful as well, happy you have noticed this detail. Thanks a lot!!! 🤗
Mexico is one of the countries I would love to visit. Its architecture is beautiful, I loved the blue of Frida Kahlo's house. Thank you for giving us this excellent tour.
Thanks Dorys! Yes it was a surprising trip because I could see that beautiful and interesting architecture and many things really... it's full of culture, history and more.
