On Saturday evening we got on the bus towards Puebla - an over 8 hours trip. The bus had only 24 sits on 3 rows, with sits which can be set up as almost horizontal beds. An unbelivable experience, and by the way, the bus network in Mexico is very well developed, covering the whole country, with modern coaches and huge bus stations, as they have almost no trains at all.
Puebla is an old historical city built completely by the Spanish. Its center resembles to a European Middle Age city. One outstanding characteristic is that it has lots of churches, almost one on each street. We took a hotel in the center for 2 nights for about 22 eur a night for a double room (same price as a hostel private ensuite). We then realized it was a 4 star hotel (but actually it did not look to be more than 2 stars).
The ground floor of all the buildings are shops. It seems everybody has something to sell... And the majority of them are shoe shops - all of them offering the same models. In addition, they prepare food on the street, soup, nachos, anything. People eat on the street, by the kiosk, sitting on a small chair, keeping the plate in their hands.
