Yes! We are Colombians, living half our lives in Mexico City (19 years now) This city has a magnetism that is difficult to escape from. It can also repel you. Once you get used to all the caos, you start seeing beauty in layers. Is playful and full of colors. Mexican markets are the best on our way of view in the world.
We used to live in downtown, Utilitario started those days, walking around the neighborhood, getting lost and wondering around every shop and corner, we always came home with something, we start collecting things, downtown is a huge open sky shopping mall, full of beautiful historic buildings everywhere. The blocks are dedicated to selling one thing for example electronics (Victoria street) then you walk two more blocks and you find disco balls, instruments and huge speakers for sonideros (Bolivar street).
And last but not least you have tacos and mezcal. Food is the master key that open the multiverses melted in this epic culture. Markets, people, culture, crafts, utensils, artisans, kitchens, ingredients, colors, flavors, music, stories, flowers, faith, traditions, mysticism, humor … and so on.
How come you are not going to love this city?
