The Verde Antequera breathes culture, joy and music. Every step leads to beautiful colonial buildings: the Cathedral, the Museum of Santo Domingo and its Botanical Garden, the Alcalá Theater, the Philatelic Museum, and other constructions that form the Cerro del Fortín, look silent and masterful. It is there, in the Fortín, when in July its Mondays are filled with offerings.

This Heritage City is unconditionally accompanied by the intense sun that forces its strollers to sit in the Alameda square and enjoy an ice cream under the shade of tall trees while the comings and goings of its people offer wood, palm or clay handicrafts.

The best way to approach the Oaxacan city is to walk through its streets and find colorful facades, small churches and the murmur of Zapotec voices. In every corner, you can perceive the aroma of mezcal and chocolate; the colors of its textiles, its clay creations, the various forms that the carved wood takes to become alebrijes.

For gourmets, connoisseurs, a feast of flavors awaits; in addition to mole, there are tlayudas with chorizo and quesillo, tasajo and a good chapulines taco; eating them as a snack while having a sip of mezcal on your throat is a real treat.

For this reason, you must enter its markets, the 16 de septiembre or the Benito Juárez, where the palate can be filled with sweet, bitter and salty sensations.

A trip to Monte Albán or Hierve el Agua is the beginning of a tour to the Central Valleys, the Isthmus, the Sierra Sur or the Coast. Whoever decides to visit the Center of the Arts of San Agustin will be on their way to enter the area of the Cañada, the Papaloapan, the Sierra Norte or the Mixteca with its conventual jewels of incomparable beauty.

Be part of the Oaxacan soul where the voice of art, architecture and cuisine taste of wood, quarry and mezcal. Travel with MexEpic and check it out!
