Bisbee Gal Posted August 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Luis Barragan House in Mexico City. Nice tour, excellent gift shop. From http://www.casaluisbarragan.org/eng/en_index.html Quote Casa Luis Barragán, built in 1948, represents one of the most internationally transcendent works of contemporary architecture, as acknowledged by the UNESCO when included in their 2004 World Heritage list. It is the only individual property in Latin America to have achieved such a distinct honor, being — as stated by the UNESCO itself — a master piece in the development of the modern movement that merges traditional and vernacular elements, as well as diverse philosophical and artistic currents throughout time, into a new synthesis. Luis Barragán’s influence in global architecture is still in constant growth; and his house, faithfully kept just the way it was when inhabited by its author until his death in 1988, is one of the most visited sites in Mexico City by architects and art connoisseurs from around the world. This museum, which encloses its creator’s residency and studio, is property of the Government of the State of Jalisco and the Fundación de Arquitectura Tapatía Luis Barragán.

Izzenhood Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 We had to suffer this view from the window of our sala at a VRBO rental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzenhood Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 I thought this one would be easy. Hint: Yellow building in background. Another hint: The name of the bridge on our street would ring a bell for some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzenhood Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Photo was taken from our rental on del Tecolote. This was the street that Hidalgo and the Mexican troops came down in 1810 to rout the Spanish. Tecolote ends at Puente Campanero (bridge of the bell ringer). The closest iglesia is Temple de San Franciso. To the left you can see the Basilica, and the University of Guanajuato (yellow), both in the distance. In the center distance you can see the Jesuit Temple. I think you can also see the Iglesia de San Diego, just barely left of and closer than the University. The view is looking north from the base of the same hill as la Pipila. You are probably thinking you can just guess Guanajuato for most of the photos I post. I haven't traveled Mexico that much; maining visiting Guanajuato. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It now houses a regional museum depicting how an upper class family would have lived in Puebla. It was damaged in a 2017 earthquake but has been repaired and renovated.

Izzenhood Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 4 hours ago, Bisbee Gal said: Mine tour in Zacatecas. Yes. Mina el Eden. A huge silver mine which operated until 1960. Now there is a mall and nightclub inside, plus a tour of course. The tour is well worthwhile. You enter the portal via the man trip pictured, walk by the nightclub, then along the main vein for what seems like a mile, then exit via a different portal. Near this second portal you can catch the tranvía aéreo up to La Bufa where you have a great view of the city. http://en.travelbymexico.com/zacatecas/places-to-visit/?nom=kzaceleden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzenhood Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Donde? Edited August 11, 2020 by Izzenhood Reason for edit: Front of church was searchable on google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzenhood Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hints: Side view of a Capilla which is surrounded by a Sunday market, in a town known for Mezcal. The market is named for a former Governor of the state. 16th century Dominican church, whose chapel is known for its ornate Baroque decoration and a crucifix to which have been ascribed many miracles. I know this is a tough one. Would like the town and state. If you want to skip this one and post another photo I'll be back with the answer shortly.
