LEONORA CARRINGTON

Artist Leonora Carrington is a national living treasure. Although born in the UK in 1917, she has lived most of her live in Mexico, and currently in her 90's, still produces new paintings and sculptures in her studio in Colonia Roma.
GO SEE the current outdoor show of her work along REFORMA in Chapultepec Park (between the park entrance and the Museo de Antropología). The paintings are all reproductions, but they pale in comparison to her whimsical, surreal bronze sculptures that line the central camellon of Reforma. The show is on until the end of October--don't miss it!

MEXICO CITY : AN OPINIONATED GUIDE--About the book

As the largest metropolis on the planet, Mexico City is surely a place where one appreciates a guiding hand. Written by a resident who knows the city inside and out, this book offers detailed walking tours of the most interesting areas and recommendations of where to stay, what to do and where to eat, from authentic market food to sophisticated Mexican cuisine, all based on more than ten years of exploring the city. While intentionally pared down (assuming most visitors come for a week or less), the choices of sights, hotels and restaurants will be of particular interest to the more sophisticated traveler who wants to get to know Mexican culture.
A link to order the book is at the bottom of this page.
