These areas are two of the oldest neighborhoods in Mexico City. Colonia Juárez is one of the emerging neighborhoods in the city. Back in 1900 it was a very wealthy area filled with mansions and it became home to a large artistic community in the 60s. After the earthquake of 1985, the area was devastaded and lost it's popularity. Recently, the whole area is enjoying a revival where new creative minds are emerging and gorgeous places are born inside of the old structures.
Monthly design & food market
La Lonja was born in 2010 from the need of new platforms to showcase the work of up and coming designers and creatives. In 2015 La Lonja released a new project, EL ZOCO, which consists of an open air market where exhibitors, local stores and restaurants join forces during a weekend to provide a quality shopping and eating experience of visitors. Though it only happens once a month and in different spots of the city, most locations are in Colonia Juárez, it’s a great opportunity to check out what local designers are currently doing.
