Mexico City Local Customs

Poverty is present everywhere downtown.
One trick some have is they will peel and slice a mango and deliver it to you on a stick right there on the spot on the corner of the street.
Less annoying than begging and delicious too.

Honestly the best and definitely the cheapest food in Mexico City I had in local markets. My favourite is the Xochimilco one where I had the best consome and tacos dorados with lamb meat.

Museums on Bosque Chapultepec are free on Sundays for Mexicans. Expect long lines such as these outside the museum of anthropology

As well as Agua, Juices and icecreams, you can find also Paletas de Agua (water) or Crema (cream) made of fruits and other different flavors.

Lemon, Rompope, Frambuesa are some of the famous flavors

Then take a walk down Mexico City's grand Reforma blvd, and enjoy the different mod cactus sculptures lining its sidewalks. Very cool stuff.

A trip to Mexico City would not be complete without the sounds of mariachi in the backgorund.

The mariachi band traditionally plays at the end of a wedding celebration.

Every day for a week in September, a parade
of local people climb from the city's
main church to a chapel at the top of a nearby mountain, Cerro de la Bufa, in honor of the
patron saint of the town.

Mexican are very religios people, so if you go to the 'Basilica de Guadalupe' and they have Mass inside, please be quite.
