- El Zócalo
In the middle of the historic district of Mexico City is the Plaza de la Constitución, nicknamed El Zócalo. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This was the centre of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlán, with its ceremonial area just to the north. Every day the city's heritage is relived with conchero dancers in feathered headdresses dancing to the beat of drums.
- Palacio de Bellas Artes
The Palacio de Bellas Artes is the most important performing arts venue in the capital, and a fine example of early 20th-century architecture.
- Rancho La Puerta Spa
Sixty years ago, 17 year-old Deborah Szekely and her Hungarian husband, the late Edmond Szekely, settled across the Mexican border in an adobe hut with lots of good intentions. Fast forward to today and you'll find the popular Rancho La Puerta Spa.
