Zona Rosa / The Pink Zone

During more than twenty years, the so-callled Zona Rosa has been an excellent area to stay and go shopping. It is conveniently located near the Historical Centre and crossed by Reforma avenue, which is the main commercial and financial axis of the city. During 1967, a year clearly marked by the restlessness of the decade, a certain area of the Juarez neighborhood was named the Pink Zone; neither red nor white, but certainly Bohemian and recently renovated to appease the tastes of modern youth. Its elegant hideaways inherited the glamour of bygone times, and it seemed almost as if, in honor of the names of its streets, it had been transplanted from Old Europe. Today the Pink Zone continues to undergo changes: new boutiques, bars and discotheques have expanded the choices available to those patrons who populate the area in search of entertainment or survival. Thus, beggars, discotheque hawkers, yuppies, foreign tourists, nocturnal rodents, revellers, druggies, ladies out shopping and business men blend together at any time of the day or night with the muted colors of the cobble stones, walls and buildings in their quest for the much desired Vie en Rose.

Casa de los Azulejos / The House of Tile

OmniCiencia, mural by Jose Clemente Orozco. 1925.


Restaurant area.

La obra data del siglo XVII, aunque se sabe que debió reconstruirse casi en su totalidad en 1735, cuando se le dio su actual aspecto. En el interior, su magnífico patio fue convertido en conocido restaurante desde 1903. La escalera exhibe lambrines de azulejo en los que se observan los escudos nobiliarios del marquesado de Orizaba, a cuya familia perteneció el inmueble. En el cubo de la escalera no deje de admirar el espléndido mural de José Clemente Orozco que data de 1925 y que lleva el nombre de “Omnisciencia”.
