Overview
Start your adventure at the spectacular Vasconcelos Library, and admire Gabriel Orozco’s “Mobile Matrix”. Afterwards, he performs "urban archaeology" of the neighborhood to discover the 1957 mural of José Gordillo, a hidden masterpiece that has survived earthquakes and the passage of time.
Continue to the vibrant colors of Gilberto Aceves Navarro's "War and Peace" mural, which shows the transition to the modern art era in Mexico. But the true essence of Porfiriato awaits you at Niña Oscura, a "secret" bookstore located in an early 20th century house, where you will find old books difficult to obtain.
Finally, visit the legendary Moorish Kiosk, a cast iron jewel in the heart of the Alameda, before closing the day at La Joya de Santa María. In this traditional pulqueria, toast authentic "cured" (fermented agave sap or a beer if you prefer), and immerse yourself in the neighborhood atmosphere!
