 "
...To understand it, it's necessary to see it as a general
process which hasn't finished yet..." - El laberinto de la
Soledad - Octavio Paz. This phrase , used for the Mexican
Revolution by the Literature Nobel Prize winner, can describe
the Mexican Capital. Founded in 1325 by the "Mexicas" as Tenochtitlan,
México-City took its name in 1521 after the Spanish conquest.
Now it's one of the biggest cities in the world with approx.
20 million inhabitants: City of many contrasts, where you
can find side by side pre-colonial sites, the entrance to
the Subway, colonial buildings or skyscrapers, where the 'Mariachi'
band offers you their 'fiestas' day and night, or the "green
lung" of the 'Chapultepec park invites you to rest after the
craziness of the "Zocalo".
