This publication is the result of 10 years of research by enthusiasts of Mexico City's Historic Center, who dedicated themselves to creating this reference guide for passersby in the Mexican capital. Miscelánea is a useful, insightful, and critical guide to popular and traditional commerce in Mexico City's Historic Center. It helps you find specific products and details, through anecdotal details, the history associated with these products, buildings, neighborhoods, and markets.
In an original way, through brief texts, photographs, and maps, one can walk the streets of downtown and discover the daily activities of its inhabitants. The reader learns to see downtown through a different lens and marvel at the small details that surprise them. It is a guide for curious "travelers" who want to discover and explore the everyday life of Mexico in an authentic way. In addition to the guide, a foldout map of downtown, independent of the book, allows the reader to navigate the streets and locate notable places.
