Itinerary
In this palace, now Sambors restaurant, we will begin our tour reading the poets José Vicente Figueroa, Octavio Paz & Jaime Sabines. Our conversation will emphasize some elements of Mexican identity: loneliness and communion.
In this beautiful church we will read Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, the greatest reference in New Spain poetry. Likewise, we will discuss the religious and mythical dynamics of Mexican syncretism.
In the heart of the city, right in front of the government palace, we will read "The Anonymous of Tlatelolco", which corresponds to the indigenous testimony against the conquest of Mexico.
In the archaeological windows of the main temple, from the outside, we will read the indigenous poet Nezahualcoyotl, also emperor of Texcoco and engineer. Without a doubt, representative of mythical poetry prior to the vicissitudes of the Spanish conquest.

About Mexico City
Mexico City is a vast, high-altitude capital built over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, rich in museums, murals, markets and outstanding food.
The Zócalo, one of the largest squares in the world, is framed by the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace, where Diego Rivera's murals tell the story of Mexico. Beside them, the excavated Templo Mayor reveals the heart of the Aztec capital, and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, with its marble exterior and Art Deco interior, stands a short walk west.
Top-ranked sights in Mexico City: Teotihuacán, Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Frida Kahlo Museum (Museo Frida Kahlo).
