Meet the Artists

On Saturday or Sunday, the place to be is in the upscale neighborhood of San Angel. This area is dotted with small plazas and parks that on the weekend fill with artisans and craft vendors. There is a rich mix of Mexican crafts and fine art. From the abstract to the fantastic to the more traditional, most art tastes can be found and even purchased if both your wallet and your suitcase are large enough. Although San Angel is a tourist draw, it is much more peaceful than any attraction in the historical central part of DF.

This is a retirement life I could get used to. Now, I just have to figure out what talent I have that people might pay for.

San Angel comes by its art heritage honestly. This is one of the neighborhoods where Diego and Frida lived. The Diego Rivera Y Frida Kahlo Studio Museum is no more than a 20 minute walk from the plaza.
