    Discover the Bella Época Cultural Centre, located in the Condesa neighbourhood. A hidden gem for many people. This cultural space was remodelled by one of the most influential architects in our country. It includes the Rosario Castellanos Bookshop, one of the largest in Latin America with more than 35,000 titles, as well as the Lido Cinema and the Luis Cardoza y Aragón Gallery, an important venue for the promotion of culture and for critical discussion and dialogue on various artistic disciplines, including cinema.
  2. 15m
    Marvel at the architecture of the parish church of the first saint in America, Santa Rosa de Lima. An important religious centre for the local community, it stands out for its simple yet elegant architecture, with traditional elements that reflect the spirituality of the place.
  3. 25m
    We will walk along one of the most famous avenues in Condesa, Avenida Ámsterdam. It is home to incredible shops, cafés, restaurants, art galleries, iconic architecture and many hidden gems in an incredibly green area full of trees and life. You will soon realise why it is one of the most sought-after areas in the city and you will discover why this place is called Condesa. We will take you to one of our favourite cafés and art galleries, a surprise for music lovers.

    We will arrive at Parque México, considered the heart of La Condesa. We can enjoy fountains, trails, recreational areas, surrounded by lovely restaurants. Here we can breathe in a healthy, family-friendly atmosphere where locals and tourists alike enjoy coming to stroll and enjoy nature in the middle of the city.

    We will take you to one of our favourite places in Roma, a space in the city that has been rescued by environmentalists and converted into an urban garden and green lung. With projects focusing on ecology, environmental education, permaculture, bio-architecture, agriculture, sustainability and the knowledge of indigenous peoples. A true green gem in Roma.
