Best of Mexico.

Mexico's creative neighborhoods are built on craft traditions that run centuries deep - the contemporary layer is just the most recent one. Jalatlaco in Oaxaca is hand-painted walls, mezcal, and textiles on colonial cobblestone. Roma Norte in Mexico City stacks high-end restaurants over street food stands over Art Deco architecture, all on the same block. Colonia Americana in Guadalajara fills converted mansions with mezcal bars and coffee roasters. The cost of living is low. The quality of the work is not.
