Known as “The City of
the Eternal Spring” or as I learned on this trip "The City of Whispering Trees", Cuernavaca, Morelos, is the chosen destination for many
city residents, due to its closeness with Mexico City. I spent a month here
several years ago and have fond memories of the town.
The quietness you can find in each of its spots and, of course the pleasant warm temperature it
enjoys most of the year. Only about 50 miles away from Mexico City, the
capital city of Morelos has been adopted as an amusement and relaxation
location for almost everybody who has known it, from Aztec emperors and
conquerors to princes, artists and a great deal of retirees. Its landscapes,
full of colors and fragrances come from to the flowering of bugambilias,
jacarandas, African tulips, lilies, jasmine, tabachines and daisies.
Beautiful
plazas and colonial buildings, all full of history, form the Historic Centre of
Cuernavaca, which shows off the Cathedral atrium, where the first “pastorela”
in the country was performed.
The Cathedral Cuernavaca grounds is home to several chapels. Cuernavaca is also home to Cortez's house - a place where he actually stayed versus one for business purposes only.
