OAXACA CITY
The enchanting city of Oaxaca captures the hearts of all its visitors and as soon as you arrive and begin to wander the cobbled streets of the historic centre, you’ll soon learn how. Oaxaca is certainly best explored in the early mornings while the city wakes up around you. Take in the aromas of freshly toasted coffee; listen to the city’s soundtrack as the gas truck roars past; and select from the array of street vendors for your first bite to eat of the day.
Oaxaca is notorious for its local gastronomy and rightly so, the selection of food on offer in the city is highly impressive. You can choose between memelas chargrilled on a comal on the street, vegetarian quesadillas in a bar / art gallery, or octopus drenched in a corn pozole sauce served on a fairy lit terrace overlooking the cityscape. There are options to suit all tastes and budgets, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in Oaxaca’s renowned culinary world.
Mezcal is also another icon of Oaxaca City and no trip is complete without spending the night in a Mezcaleria. Learn the technique of enjoying this smokey spirit – inhaling the earthy aromas while you slowly sip and let your palette decide which maguey is your favourite tipple.
In this travel guide to Oaxaca, we share our personal recommendations of the city — places where we have been and experienced for ourselves — that we can’t wait for you to see for yourself. Enjoy your stay in Oaxaca City! https://aldeatuya.com/en/book-now/
