Capital
of Mexico Mexico City conducts the history since XIV century when the
Aztecs tribes lodged here for the first time. Officially the city was
founded by conquistadors on the coast of the Teskoko Lake in 1525.
Today Mexico represents the third on size megapolis of the world, being
the house for almost twenty million residents. As well as all megapolis,
this city is similar to a huge colourful panel of a mosaic. It seems
as if these fragments were a part of absolutely different cultures
and epoch, however in Mexico City they are tightly bound.
In one moment being in an old wine cellar you will drown in species of
tequila, and the next moment you might already dance all night long on
a roof of a magnificent building under modern rhythms of the World`s leading
Djs.
In the morning you enjoy the unpretentious breakfast bought on a street
corner – a corn flat cake stuffed with farce and Chile pepper wrapped
up in corn leaves, or enjoy fusion style kitchen in one of elite restaurants
of the Polanko area at night. It goes from the history of this city.
In the afternoon you can share sincere tortures and sufferings of the greatest
artist Frida Kalo being in her house-museum or in many other museums exhibiting
her pieces of arts, and later on become a witness of a physical pain of
the fighters dressed in masks and acting on arena in the city centre. And
all of it is Mexico City where the past and the present intertwined and
exist only together.
The images of the capital does not deprived of dark spots, but the present
millennium turned page in the history of this city. It does not move towards
apocalypse any more, but it waits for its new Renaissance.
