Streets of Mexico City
Estela de Luz - The Pillar of Light
The Pillar of Light - a monument in memory of Mexican independence. What was to be a symbol of hope, became a huge controversy...
Mexico City - Coyoacan
A wonderful AirBnB stay in a 16th century building, on the doorstep of Frida Kahlo museum.
Coyoacan - a lovely area. Apart from the Frida museum, plenty of restaurants, cafes and a great place to stay.
In the centre
The Old Post Office Building
Mexico City - Polanco
Somewhere in town
Shopping organised by streets: a street for chairs, a street for jewellery, a street for rugs...
Danza de los Voladores - Dance of the Flying Men
Best things happen without planning... Serendipitously came across this (and was conscious enough to start filming!), a Unesco-listed Mexican ritual.
Dance of the Flying Men (also called Dance of the Flyers or Pole Flyers) is an ancient Mexican ritual. The Ritual Ceremony of the Flyers is a fertility dance and is on the Unesco's Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
