Origin of the traditional mole and the figure of the popular Chinese poblana, the city of Puebla is one of the most beautiful capitals of the Mexican Republic. Visit it and be amazed by its monumental colonial architecture.
It was the same angels who drew up and shaped the city of Puebla, capital of the state of the same name, according to the old traditions narrated by the elders, while they settle on the benches of the cozy parks in the center of the capital of Puebla. .
Origin of the traditional mole and the figure of the popular Chinese Poblana, the city of Puebla de los Ángeles changed its name, in not distant times, to Puebla de Zaragoza; in homage to General Don Ignacio, that famous military man who commanded the defense of this city during the heroic combats in which Mexican arms defeated the invading troops of the French army, towards the sixth decade of the XIX century, writing one of the most important pages notable in the history of Mexico.
As a wide range, the current city of Puebla opens up to the visitor as a wide range of options where from left to right can be found, first, the monumental Puebla, where colonial buildings and religious constructions, stand imposing before the camera of the walker; The highlights here are: the city's Cathedral, one of the most remarkable religious constructions in America, and of course, the magical Temple of San Francisco, where the body of Blessed Sebastián de Aparicio rests. On the other hand, Puebla has an extensive list of museums, monuments, and sites of both historical and cultural interest; We highlight thus: the Casa del Alfañique, the interesting Amparo Museum and the Loreto and Guadalupe forts, among others. And what to say, Puebla is proud to contribute to Mexican cuisine, unique dishes such as the famous chiles en nogada or the traditional sweet typical of the region: sweet potato; always fresh so that the visitor can taste it instantly or take away the classic memory of the place.
In this way, the capital of the state of Puebla appears to us as an interesting city -by the way, very close to Mexico City, approximately 120 km away-, full of history and past, but also modern and active, waiting for its visitors to return again, to the City of Angels.
