MEXICO – BREAD, DISH AND SPOON: With Manuel, where the tortilla opens the doors of your stupor

I hope you have already visited Mexico City. If you have something to ask me, we can talk during our excursion to the Bosque de Chapultepec, a place you will never forget. I am Manuel, and I take the opportunity that Meeting Benches offers me, to show the largest park of my nation – 400 acres – along a route of 2.5 km. A king poet (Texcoco), had imagined and built his summer residence on a hill (the Hill of locusts), but today are my fellow citizens to cross by boat this corner of paradise. We will see a zoo, botanical gardens and two sources (the Fuente de Netzahualcóyotl and the Lerna). If you love art, in this second source you can admire the paintings of Diego Rivera. http://www.visitmexico.com/en/

If you’re not too tired, we can also visit the Monumento a los Ninos Heroes, the National Museum of Modern Art and the Castillo de Chapultepec. From the terrace of this castle built in 1783, we can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Mexican capital. We can also eat, finally, and you will realize that – like everything that is Mexico – also our cuisine is influenced by what is our cultural essence, that is a mix of traditional pre-Hispanic and Spanish. Do not forget, eating, which for us is the tortilla corn bread, plate and spoon. Good appetite and, back in my beautiful country.
