Descripción
Explore the lesser-known side of Mexico City and learn about our culture and people through incredible murals in less-explored areas of the big city.
There is a side of Mexico City that few dare to visit, less touristy neighborhoods or non-touristy markets; through this experience officially initiated by me, Isaías, you will get to know that more local, more Mexican side of Mexico City.
The Street Art that you will admire throughout this experience will tell you about the culture of a strong, brave, diverse, passionate Mexican people, full of color and tradition. You cannot miss the opportunity to visit traditional neighborhoods of the city, which now speak through their walls where you will appreciate the importance of corn for our daily life, an element that identifies us as Mexicans; the importance of markets for our economy, the pride we feel for being Mexican; all represented on the walls of buildings full of color.
Our tour begins in Colonia Roma, from where we will walk until we reach the first point, a local market with murals that will tell you about gastronomy and pre-Hispanic history; After that, we will walk along a historically important avenue to see the murals of a public elementary school and 2 spaces where there are frequently new murals. We will have a break at an important crafts market to admire the mural of a plastic artist known for her Street Art works and collaborations with big brands such as Alpura, LALA, Knorr, Champion, The Cheesecake Factory and more.
Before continuing our tour, we will stop to visit an iconic taco shop in Mexico City, take a "pause gourmande" and then continue to the point where this experience ends.
Finally, we will arrive at one of the most important neighborhoods for Street Art, where you will experience the local vibe as it is a traditional neighborhood, an iconic neighborhood of Mexico City, and along one of its avenues you will be able to admire the history of the inhabitants of this neighborhood and how proud they feel to know about a pre-Hispanic past as unique as ours.

INFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE
The sites on the list for this tour are almost always the same; however, since this art is ephemeral and can change location, there may be some variation if one or more of the murals no longer exist. When this happens, a new proposal will always be made to continue the tour and fulfill its duration.
The assigned guide or I will carry the logo with the legend Street Art so that we can be identified. We will present ourselves right in front of the entrance to the Churrería El Moro, on Álvaro Obregón Avenue at the corner of Calle Frontera, in the Roma neighborhood.
