Puebla: City of Angels

BY ANA LANCZYNER

Most would be surprised to learn that in Mexico we have our very own city of angels; Puebla obtained this angelical nickname due to the perfectly aligned historical downtown area which is said to be designed by angles. Located in the center of the country, Puebla is just a two-hour drive away from Mexico City and totally worth visiting. This city is bursting with a fusion of prehispanic heritage and colonial architecture that is palpable in every corner and savored in every dish. There is much to say about Puebla’s role in Mexican history but what you should know from the get go is that its historic district is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this is where the real 5 de mayo battle happened, and the famous chocolate based savory sauce called mole was originated in this area.   

Angelópolis

Just like every major city in Mexico, Puebla also has a duality which allows visitors and locals to enjoy the rich historic treasures of the past alongside a modern city. Puebla in particular has recently had a series of serious infrastructure development with a world-class convention center, museums, and of course a hefty hotel selection to go with it. Our Grand Fiesta Americana Puebla Angelópolis located in the famous Angelopolis district is an example of the development this city has seen in the past decade. This modern yet very green district is home to some of the country’s best restaurants and shopping malls where visitors are sure to find much more than meets the eye. You may also decide on one Puebla Angelópolis, located at Plaza One in the Periférico-Ecológico. If you want to enjoy some of the best views of the city, Angelopolis is where most of the high-rise buildings are located. However, if you feel like taking panoramic views to the next level, you can also visit the famous cable car attraction in the Los Fuertes historic district and enjoy a wider view from there.
