After the visit to the Pyramids we had lunch at Sanborne café, close to the Alameda park. Great food and ambiance . Though all the places we eat, Raji had a tough task of explaining the concept of vegetarian :-). All the restaurants have at least one item fully vegetarian and Mexico city has about 4-5 restaurants which are only vegetarian. So it wasn’t such a big issue.
Post lunch we headed to Zocalo, this is the main town square, about 5 blocks from Alameda park. We reached Zocalo at around 2pm on Sunday, it was so crowded and an impressive sight! Zocalo is a large square surrounded by the Cathedral Metropolitana, the Presidential Palace and Templo de Mayor and hordes of shops and people. When we reached the Zocalo there was a rock show in progress, and at the same place at night we saw a religious rally…very active town square indeed !
Next comes the best part …The Aztec Dancers !!! They dance to the drum beats in their traditional attire with huge head gears , one gets mesmerised by the rhythm and the beats of the drums. Their bodies are painted and we sighted both men and lady aztecs! They were about 20 dancers and we spotted them in between the Catedral and Templo de Mayor on Sunday afternoon. This is a must see in Mexico City.
