Puebla is Mexico's fourth largest city with a population of over three million people. It is a modern metropolis and a major industrial center. (One of the largest Volkswagen plants in the world is located here.) Nevertheless, its historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage site with over 5000 buildings of historic significance. There is an abundance of Baroque architecture from the the 17th and 18th century.
Alejandro and I have made several weekend trips to Puebla, and I have written about the city in a number of entries on this blog. You can check them out by clicking on "Puebla" under the list of labels on the right.
After we hit the candy shops, we strolled around the colonial center for a bit before returning to Mexico City. Here are a few photos of Puebla's beautiful architecture...
I am sure we will make more trips to this city in the future, because there are still museums and historic sites that we have yet to visit.
