Puebla, Mexico
Puebla is a beautiful city situated in Mexico and it is a home of classic Mexican dishes like mole poblano. But for sure I will tell you there’s a lot more to do in this city than just eat. Puebla is thickly full of colonial treasures, cafe squares, a vibrant arts and crafts culture. In one of the central square are rising the towers of the Cathedral de Puebla, nearly 230 feet above.
Puebla is a city with a strong colonial past which can be seen in much of its architecture. For example La Terazza, the rooftop bar at La Purificadora, attracts a stylish crowd with its slender pool and prime views of the 16th-century Church of San Francisco.
On 10 miles away from Puebla, is known for two things: the great pyramid and 365 churches - one for each day of the year. The pyramid, which was built in the second-century , is comprised of seven trapezoids stacked on top of each other and is actually one-third larger than the Great Pyramid at Giza. You can climb up the massive staircase and at the very top of the pyramid is the Iglesia de Los Remedios, a 16th-century church built by the Spanish to commemorate the conversion of the Aztecs to Christianity.
The highlight of any visit to Puebla is its dish: mole poblano, the curry-like sauce made of 30-odd ingredients including chilies, cinnamon and chocolate. And one of the best places to taste it is at Meson Sacristia’s.
