Trip to San Angel and Del Carmen Convent in Mexico City

Let´s explore the beautiful neighborhood of San Angel, one of the 21 Barrios Magicos in Mexico City, during the Day of the Dead celebrations, with beautiful alters and decorations at several outdoor and indoor spaces.

San Angel, located 12km (7.4 miles) southwest of the historic center, was once a retreat for wealthy city residents. Cobblestone streets, plazas, gardens and elegant estates are reminiscent of the neighborhood’s rich colonial past. San Angel is home to monuments, historic residences, a former Dominican monastery and several interesting museums and beautiful churches.

Among them are the Risco House Museum (Plaza San Jacinto 15) with its impressive 18th century talavera tile fountain. The El Carmen complex is the identifying marker of San Ángel, especially the three tiled-covered domes of the church. It consists of church, former monastery and school buildings. The monastery school or “Colegio” was founded in 1613. There are several colorful markets, art galleries and shops scattered throughout the neighborhood.

The price is 650 pesos and includes transport, guided walks by certified bilingual guide an entrance to the Del Carmen monastery. On November 4, from 10.00 to 16.00 hrs.
