Yorch Place

From Santiago de Queretaro to the world

The city of Puebla

, , ,

I just arrived to the city of Puebla, the fourth largest in Mexico, historically important, old and classy... Well the historic district.

This city used to be the second most important in the country, also the second largest.

The historic district is full of historic buildings and legends, the cathedral is breath taking probably, with Mexico city's, the only real cathedral (compared with the european cathedrals)

The bad part, the garbage, there is dirt everywhere, graffiti in every place, and the people, one of the worst drivers in Mexico, they don't care about the pedestrians, I literally had to jump to avoid being hit by a bus in a pedestrian pass (with zebra lines), and they have an obsession with the honk, noise all the time, they honk pedestrians even. So rude!

Also the rest of the city (outside historic part) is really ugly, first I thought I was in a bad, poor neighborhood, but continue riding everything looked the same.

There is a modern part of the city where the "in" mall is located, the golf course and the expensive stores and universities, this part looks nice, even to live there, if you can afford it, very notorious where the rich live.
