I followed a walk today recommended by my Lonely Planet Mexico City Guide. What a great way to spend a Saturday! I started my walk at La Bombilla Metrobus stop and headed toward La Plaza del Carmen. This square was the first of three to be filled by artists selling paintings, prints, photo, and drawings. Strolling through each plaza offered... More

San Angel is a beautiful place but Saturdays is very crowded so I recommend to visit it on Sunday where you can have a nice breakfast either at Fonda San Angel (good buffet) or at Sack's (great corn bread!); try to arrive before 10 AM so you do not need to wai to be seated. After breakfast, you can find... More

Lots of cultural activities, arts and crafts, lovely streets and parks. Try a churrería if you can't go to El Moro downtown. More

We spent a pleasant afternoon strolling around this well-preserved and of course very upscale neighborhood and its market which is held on Saturdays. The crafts and artwork on display were nothing special but we enjoyed strolling around and visiting the church. We found a non-tourist local restaurant very close to the plaza, and it was quite good, and did not... More

I promised myself I would stay in the San Angel neighborhood the next visit to Mexico City. The Saturday outdoor artists market was wonderful. I bought a painting, handmade flowers and a very funky handmade leather bib necklace. Peruse this truly amazing and varied area with cobblestone streets, colonial architecture -- fresh air and wonderful tiny shops. More

When I ride my bicycle back from downtown Reforma on the Sunday paseo, I stop at San Angel for a delicious cup of coffee, then stroll around the park to look at the many paintings and crafts done by local artists. Somewhat like San Miguel de Allende, but much larger without the big city feeling. More
