This street is a popular antique shopping area by day and provides a lively musical atmosphere at night.
Calle 6 Sur, also known as the Alley of the Frogs, is a must visit because of the many colorful buildings and the beautiful decorated houses along the whole street. If you want good photos, try to get there towards the early morning as the street will be empty and the colors will look beautiful in the morning light. And also the area near around Calle 6 Sur is a great place to hang around in a café or do some street shopping.

An old fountain rests at the center of this bucolic plaza, located in Puebla's historic district.
The first thing about a trip to Mexico is that Mexico is everything you didn’t know about Mexico…. and more ~ and in a land that offers the very best of cross-cultural experiences ranging back thousands of years, to today’s best, modern-day, but tradition-based foods and accompaniments, and offers everything in a dazzling array of colors, shapes and flavors. The cuisine is exotic, unfailingly creative, unerringly spiced and flavored, and exquisitely balanced in more ways than one would think possible. Forget tacos, nachos and tortillas.. that’s just scratching the surface of a vast repertoire that sucks you in and keeps your head spinning with more. Raw, fresh vegetables, dried herbs and preserved flowers, roots and other plant parts are creatively incorporated loosely and unhesitatingly into the mainstream of the meal: so much so that some dishes, when served, appear like floral arrangements more to delight the eye than the palette… but if you didn’t know better, you’d miss out hugely. Me ? I hadn’t a clue… but what a way to learn !! It grabs you by your taste-buds, and then dances around swinging you like a rag doll until it’s done… which may be never. We were invited to visit Mexico by a dear friend from our neighborhood in NY, who goes there every year. This was a special treat, and we were really lucky to be able to accept. Besides staying with her in Puebla for 5 days, we spent two days in Mexico City and then 2 days in Puerto Vallarta. Each place was an experience in a culture that amazed and delighted. Puebla has dozens of amazing restaurants all over the ancient city. The biggest attraction, though, is the 40-plus churches scattered across almost every central block in the City. And the main central square, the Zocalo, is the principal meeting place in town, where everything happens… slow and easy. On weekends, this space is filled with market stalls, hawkers, tradesmen, and the like, and the surrounding arcade is taken over by the numerous restaurants that occupy the square, offering fresh and delightfully prepared foods for a traditional breakfast, brunch or well into the evening meal, all eaten at out-door tables set up amongst a dazzling array of local tradesmen selling their wares as they walk around carrying impossible loads of things, wearing stacks of hats, and also carrying children on their hip, to boot. Fascinating. But unlike such hawkers in other countries, these folks do not bother you at your table unless one were to call them for something. So, this was our first full day there, and Sunday is market day, so we went out for a late breakfast, and I mean late: pre-siesta, almost… at the Zocalo. We settled at an establishment that looked promising, Puerta Azul, on the shady side of the vast square, and helped ourselves to a sumptuous meal of eggs, chicken bits, round crispy tortillas with shrimp and salsa, chicken with another kind and a bunch of beers and tequila (yes !) to start our day. When in Mexico, do as the …? The brunch was served buffet style, so you help yourself to as much as you like and they bring you the coffee, juices and drinks as you ask for them. No rush: it’s just another day in the park. For the three of us, our tab came out to 432 pesos, which at the time was about $22.00. Amazing, how far the Dollar goes in some places.

Not a very known place, but with all the elements that you expect, the ball game field, pyramids for religious purposes as well as for houses for governants, I was so lucky to be alone because of a rainy day.

We went here early in the morning to avoid the crowds. The place is beautiful, well taken-care of, and big. You may need about 4hrs to walk all around it. It has numerous historic buildings, a hotel, a restaurant, a lake where you can fish for trouts, paddle boats, and a zip line to see everything from above. The grounds are very lush and green, there are streams and woods all around the place. Very recommended.
