Puebla is one of the largest and most beautiful Spanish-colonial environments you’ll find in Mexico. It offers a low cost of living and inexpensive properties.
Around 3 million people live in Puebla,
Located 50 miles southeast of Mexico City, Puebla has an international airport and manages to feel like a small community in many ways.
Most importantly, the zócalo (town square) is one of the best in Mexico. It’s an entire large city block, lined with sidewalk cafés and shops hidden behind the classic portales (arches) common to the squares of many colonial cities.
The cathedral is magnificent. Plus, you’ll find more than 70 other beautiful churches in the historic center alone.
Puebla is noted for its famous Talavera pottery, as well as for its mole poblano… a thick, dark, sauce made from toasted ground chili peppers, spices, chocolate, and about 25 other ingredients.
The sheer size of Puebla’s historic center, as well as its state of preservation, make it unusual in Latin America and led to Puebla’s designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
The downtown area includes more than 1,000 colonial buildings.
Puebla is not only beautiful, but relaxed, friendly, and unpretentious.
Moreover, the city is experiencing a cultural rebirth, celebrating its unique role in Mexico’s history, cuisine, and the arts.
