This is Anais, the curious Mexican from Mexico City, the city where I was born and raised.

To-infinitive

And today I'm going to spend some time in the heart of the city, shopping, eating delicious traditional food, and

experiencing our vibrant culture the way locals do.

Mexicans pride themselves on their mestizaje, a fusion of ethnic origins and cultural traditions.

The best places to see all its layers are in the markets.

They set up the things, clothing, furniture.

We're gonna go to Nido for a coffee and pastry break.

Mexico City covers more than 575 square miles, and

the streets can feel a little bit full, but there are ways to beat the traffic.

Every single Sunday, they close one of the biggest streets in the city.

That's called reformad, for people to jog and run and bike when traffic is heavy.

There are more than 480 Ecobisi stations and more than 6,000 public bicycles in the city.

You just go there, you scan your QR code, and that's it.

Now, this is one of the parts that I was most excited about.

This is a tamales making class at this really cute place.

I think tamales is usually something that you have in the street on the go and put it in a plate with a sauce and beautiful presentation is kind of like elevating something that we sometimes take for granted.

So, yeah, it's kind of like going back to the ritual side of tamate.

One of the most classic things that you can do in Mexico City evenings is coming to lucha libre.

Families come here, they watch luchadores going at it.

There's always, like, the good team versus the bad team.

This is truly, truly an iconic Mexican thing to do.

I really hope you like my highlights here in the city, but

there's plenty more to discover if you want to live the Mexico City experience, you're going to have to come and check it out.
