Living in San Angel
San Ángel, Álvaro Obregón, is a picturesque colonial neighborhood in southern Mexico City. Declared a Pueblo Típico (Traditional Town) in 1934 and a Historic Monuments Zone in 1987, it originated around the Colegio de San Ángel Mártir (17th century) on fertile land along the Magdalena River. Its cobblestone streets and viceregal-baroque architecture are a highlight. Families here enjoy the Ex-Convento del Carmen (museum with mummies), Plaza San Jacinto with its Saturday Bazaar (handicrafts), the Templo de San Jacinto (1528, featuring a pre-Hispanic atrium cross), the Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo House-Studio Museum, the Flower Market, and the annual fair. The neighborhood enjoys a temperate mountain climate and is located near Chimalistac.
