On Photo Walk Nº75 we spent the morning wandering around the streets of Colonia Roma south of Av. Alvaro Obregon in search of new and old street art and finding some hidden gems. We were not disappointed by what we found... scores of colorful murals brighten up this part of the neighborhood. Many of the murals in the streets near this square are part of the series on Mexican indigenous groups #VAPORLAROMA. There are 68 different indigenous groups in Mexico and the idea is to represent all of them in murals in Colonia Roma.Of course, there is much more to Colonia Roma than street art and we met some friendly people along the way who explained things to us, including the owner of a tortillería who even invited us all to hot, freshly-made tortillas and spicy sauce.By the end of the morning, we had all got lots of great shots, a few selfies and learnt a bit more about the street art world in Mexico City.
