The City of Puebla: City of Angels...

The City of Puebla is a place full of culture, charm, traditions, history, beliefs… The magnificent trace of the city has made up the legend that were the angels who did it. Puebla is a jewel of world’s architecture and has been able to adapt spaces and fill them with life and movement. It is located 85 miles away from Mexico City (CDMX). Modern highways communicates with all the main cities around the country. It has an International Airport, named Hermanos Serdán, as well as an important Bus Station.

The city is well stocked with modern and comfortable hotels, beautiful colonial buildings, and interesting museums. The end of April kicks off the month-long “Feria de Puebla”, a festival full of special events. It has a mild sub-humid climate, with rainfalls in summer.
 
After the conquest, the City of Puebla was the first to be founded in the state, on April the 16th of 1531, as a social and human experiment, in which a group of civilians headed by Fray Toribio de Benavente participated. The majestic City of Puebla and other important cities were built with the labor and art of the Indians of the area, as well as that of enterprising Spaniards. Therefore, the area thrived with agriculture and cattle raising.
 

In what architecture concerns, churches, schools, hospitals and homes were built, and it is here where cultural syncretism left one of its most important legacies; in the historical center of the City of Puebla which was declared “Cultural Heritage of Mankind” by the UNESCO in 1987, with more than 2600 buildings of great value.
