Dancing in the Caribbean Salon


Well, back from the darkness of the night, and another working day, I mention it this weekend is to remember, jejejeje.

It all started on Saturday, getting ready to go to my friend's birthday in his house and we met some twitter friends , jejejeje a little geeks, but they're great wave. After a good hot soup and some tasty 'enchiladas verdes', my friend asked if we could go dancing to celebrate his birthday, and well, the truth is that I've long wanted to dance for a while.

Well we decided to go to a salon a bit easier but good quality, as far as Latin music, salsa and etc, concerning, for that story to service and decor, the truth is not very good.

We went to 'insurgents' avenue and upon reaching 'Revolution' avenue we turned to the right. This salon is called 'Salon Caribe' and this is near the 'San Cosme' metro station and this just on the 'Mexico-Tacuba' av.

We reached the place is classic and as there was a salsa band playing, since you arrive at the scene, the spread you want to dance, and do not worry if you can not do very well lords and ladies there teach you.

A particular feature of this place is going and older people, but "believe me when I tell them dance so great as having less than thirty years.

There are all sorts of characters, as that seemed to harry potter or the ladies who feel they are princesses jejejeje.

The true recommend this place largely, because it is a place of quality music, atmosphere and above all very good 'Salsa'.

If you want more references is very near the monument to the Mexican Revolution that is close to the 'Delegación Cuauhtemoc' in the Mexico City.

going out to eat in Tlalnepantla Estado de Mexico




Hello again to all my readers, this day was cool. more or less, about an hour ago, the good Javier, Omar and myself, we went to consent, consent to say!, to try some dishes quite rich.

If the good javi, led us to a taqueria known for this side of the North, precisely in Tlalnepantla de Baz in the State of Mexico, as a half hour of subway station 'Politécnico' and 20 min to the station 'El Rosario' .


Well, look, this place is a restaurant called "El paisano" which is one block away from downtown on 'Sor Juana Ines de La Cruz' Av.

The place is very colonial, with several portraits on the wall, they do very traditional to the good taste of Mexico. But hey, let's talk about the delicious 'Tacos', while Omar and I ate a 'Taco campechano' and that Javier was not asked, but they were very rich. And of course can not fail to accompany the rich 'guacamole' (the guacamole is a sauce that is made with green chilies, avocado, onion and some spices for flavor). The best thing about this place is that the tacos are huge and we both had enough, everyone, to say "enough" jejejeje, a place I recommend is the truth, just have to get to downtown tlalne and ask for the place, or contact your 'Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz avenue' and walk on the sidewalk to find this place, that the truth will leave a good taste.


In only the place just feels like a party atmosphere and you feel like even drink a cold beer..

I always either drunk, jejeje not true


So I leave you with a good choice for a Friday, if they want to eat something rich and delicate, but above all, a very affordable price, 30 pesos each taco, but they are huge tacos.



















Until the next post

Time for a break !!!

You know that coffee arrived in Mexico in the years 1789 and 1790 and were Veracruz, Michoacan, Oaxaca and Morelos states, and first test it to know as well as to cultivate?

For if, in our country is very important now and its main coffee producers are Oaxaca, Puebla, Verazruz, Chiapas and Morelos. Coffee is a product of tropical origin and is grown in damp areas like the mountains and the people who produce it are almost all natives of these places.

Many people suggest that a good coffee is identified by its body, acidity of it, the aroma and clear now, the flavor. In Mexico, the cafe is the most high priced, and is cultivated at a height of 950 m on sea level. Well spoken of other factors to identify the quality of a good coffee, such as moisture, soil type, vegetation, shade, grain that is used, and so on.

Well then we will discuss more about the coffee. Be sure to follow...

cheers!!!

Today's main dish

MiraFlores & Pombo Parks

this weekend I had a difficult decision, get up form my bed at 7:30 am on Saturday brrr!!! or meet a corner of the world's largest city. Yes Mexico City...

Well I think my decision is not relevant, but suffice to say that there is always time for rest and fun, but this Saturday, I gave myself the task of knowing a place a little hidden, but as each of the places that are in this city, has its touch of magic and history.

Well, this time we went a little to the southwest of the city. It was 8:40 and we took the subway line 3 (Indios Verdes-Universidad), we travel to the 'Centro Medico'station. We moved to the Line 9 (Tacabaya-Pantitlan) and arrived at the station tacubaya. We moved again, now on line 7 (Barranca del Muerto-Rosario) and get off at 'San Pedro de los Pinos' Station.

Once there, jejeje, The truth anything we hadn't eaten breakfast, so we decided to buy a good 'torta de tamal' (also known as 'Guajolota'. Very typical in Mexico City, just enough to go through the streets in the morning to see that almost everywhere sell this delicious dish).

Well after the respective 'Guajolota'(by the way the greens are the most frequently asked and the ones I like myself), we asked the locals how to get to park Pombo.

A Mr nice, said me that I had to go to the 7th street, which practically to two streets from the subway station. Well, coming to this park we give account that is very small, and therefore if you are child you fun but ,this is very well have a good time to rest and admire the colonial style homes Californian.

I'm Amazed to know how there are parks very old and this is not exception. This park dates back to 1904, when the attorney Oaxaqueño Luis Pombo donated this space to the community. In the middle there is a kiosk with roofed rare, the kind with metal columns Renaissance Baroque style.

The truth, I recommend this park to go eat ice cream, or reading a good book under the shade of various trees that surround the park.

As at 12:40 gave us a little hungry, and then there is San Pedro's Market near, which they say is famous for its dining room serving dishes based on seafood.The truth, I don't like any of that but I chose some delicious' Enchiladas Verdes".

After a delicious lunch, we went to another famous place near the park, which is the parish of San Vicente Ferrer. this has a brick base,whose styles span handled some neoclassical-baroque,
and where is the bell tower.

This temple, so I read when I entered, was built between 1922 and 1958 by the Dominicans.

In this temple we can see the classic and golden altars, tained glass in polychrome over the ship and very beautiful oil paintings of the life of St. Vincent Ferrer along all the walls.

The truth all paths in this park are very quick, took no more than 1 hour in the whole journey that I mentioned, though, at lunch if we take some time jijijiji.


Well, near there went through the second avenue , walk five blocks south, and arrived at the famous "Miraflores park", which is much larger than the Pombo's park and has more types of trees and plants and palm trees. What I liked from there are the different types of cobblestone streets driving in the park and the huge pine trees make me think, why it is called 'San Pedro de Los Pinos'?

The truth is a good place to relax and, well, worth mentioning, I saw that rent cars remote control to have a little fun jejejeje.

If you want a romantic and peaceful place I recommend this place enough and if they want something more fun, expect another post jejeje

Greetings to all and are encouraged to leave a bit to learn more about this city so beautiful.

CHIMALISTAC


Good, Today, we are in one of the places that most represent our colonial origins, here in Mexico City. you know, these unique places, where it seems to never spend time, where they are still traces of the past colonial. This place is the old "Plaza de Chimalistac", now known as "Plaza Federico Gamboa" (south of Mexico City).


Of these types of sites, are the ones I like to talk, because they are places that speak a little about the history of the city. Well, the journey begins on Insurgentes Avenue and Miguel Angel de Quevedo, where I leave my car parked there and a cop came up to tell me that they were parking in front, and I was in a prohibited place. Anyway, not to start the badly day , I agreed here jejeje and I started my walk.


Chimalistac was a great garden, later the owner Don Juan de Guzman Ixtolinque sold almost entirely to a set of cook who called themselves "The Carmelites". Then over time, these characters, sold a part and trained well, which is now known as the Chimalistac colony. Today, it retains almost all of these picturesque aspects


Chimalistac era un gran huerto, que posteriormente el dueño Don Juan de Guzman Ixtolinque vendio casi en su totalidad a un conjunto de friales que se llamaban "Los Carmelitas". Posteriormente con el paso del tiempo, estos personajes, vendieron una parte y se formó así, lo que se conoce actualmente como la colonia Chimalistac. Hoy, se conserva casí todos esos aspectos pintorescos, ya que los vecinos mantienen el tradicional uso de materiales como la cantera, madera, piedra volcanica en el diseño de sus casas, así como las calles empedradas y la vegetación abundante que nos permiten apreciar mas como era la vida en la época colonial.


Chimalistac was a great garden, later the owner Don Juan de Guzman Ixtolinque sold almost entirely to a set of cook who called themselves "The Carmelites". Then over time, these characters, sold a part and trained well, which is now known as the colony Chimalistac. Today, it retains almost all of these picturesque aspects, because the neighbors keep the traditional use of quarry materials such as wood, volcanic stone in the design of their houses and the cobbled streets and abundant vegetation that enable us to appreciate more as life was like in colonial times.


Walking through the colony, on the streets of stone, before entering the square, I saw a pretty big park, and I approached a salesperson, and ask: "Excuse me sir, what is the name of this park?, And he said that the people known as the Bulb Park, where in 1928 was assassinated former president reelected General Alvaro Obregon. I went there and discovered that the monument in the middle of the park is very large. After a bit to rest near a bench, I asked the same salesperson, where we said we could eat and the La Bombilla restaurant.

Well to get to the restaurant, I realized something very original in pond opposite the spot resembles a pyramid which has seeds of granite stairs through which one enters with very heavy metals, and adorn the entrance two sculptures by peasants, who, told us a girl who greeted us were Mr. Ignacio Asúnsolo works. Once inside the place, I realized that the floors were marble, but I was left with the doubt and I asked a waitress and in fact were of marble. Well I got ready to eat some tasty tacos Cecina enchilada


And as we say here in Mexico, "Full belly happy heart, a little walk in the park, and arrived at San Sebastian Street and on reaching the Place de Chimalistac saw a stone cross and a circular source the center atrium that serves as a very small but beautiful chapel built in 1585 by Carmelites. Within this chapel there is a XVIII century gilded altarpiece, which is preceded by the figure of Saint Sebastian and five paintings that try to represent the five mysteries of the rosary. What gave me a bit of laughter and curiosity is that according to a person there is great demand for weddings jijiji.

There is much history here, for example, I found another building with very little peculiar, but very original which is now the Centro de Estudios de Historia de Mexico Condumex. But earlier pertenecion Don Federico Gamboa, who in! 931 Santa will premiere the film, which was evidence of the work of this character, putting the capital's attention to this beautiful place. It is not difficult to feel a deep peace, highly recommended for couples to go to rest and love ahhhhh!

It was an incredible day that I met a piece of my Mexico I recommend that truth to the world, is a very nice and very Mexican where you can enjoy a quiet evening, either in family or couple and where they will meet some more of the mysteries that still keeps Mexico.

To get it even easier, you can get off at the Metrobus "La Bombilla", cross the street toward the park 'La Bombilla', walk on "Avenida de la Paz" until you reach Miguel Angel de Quevedo Av. or you can get off the subway Miguel Angel de Quevedo station (Universidad-Indios Verdes Line 3).
