Tlalpan's Historic Center is not on the main tourist trails and not too many people know of its charms. On this Photo Walk, we discovered many interesting places in a relatively small area and were pleasantly surprised by what we saw. After having refreshments in a very Mexican restaurant, we went to photograph the colorful Iglesia de Sant Agustin de las Cuevas, with its peaceful cloister and fountain. Almost next door is the Casa de Cultura where we saw the telephone which was used to make the very first long-distance phone call in Mexico.... from Tlalpan to Mexico City. Across the street is the small market in a red brick building, over 100 years old. Our final stop was to some of the vintage shops, cafés and a mezcalería nearby.Time ran out before we had a chance to wander around more of the cobbled streets lined with mansions and small cafés and shops. Tlalpan's Historic Center certainly deserves to be better known and is a great place to stroll around and have something to eat or drink.
