    It was almost empty when I visited, so only a couple of artists, no music, nothing. Nonetheless still a really scenic part of the city center

    Sehr gepflegtes kleines Viertel mit kleinen Restaurants und Cafés und vielen Kunst Workshops! Dazu ein wunderschönes Ambiente mit sehr gepflegten Häusern und schönen Bäumen! Hier lässt sich ein Trip nach Downtown wunderbar beginnen.

    A must go!! Great place! Nice affordable restaurants with live music! The food was great. And you can take a stroll around and admire or buy local art also talk to the artists 🎨

    It's a must if you visit Puebla, live music, restaurants/cafe with patios, souvenirs, at night it's much better

    There wasn't that much to see, a local told me that this Barrio is slowly dying.

  • 5/5 Simon R. 5 years ago on Google • 129 reviews
    A very nice place to spend time looking at all the crafts. Day or night it’s worth the visit.

  • 5/5 Karel �. 9 months ago on Google • 83 reviews
    Full of life and artsy stuff. Its a calm and pleasant place to walk through or sit down for a coffee. Definitely recommend to stop for a break during your exploration.

  • 4/5 Larissa S. 6 years ago on Google • 14 reviews
    Nice little stalls with lots to look at. Found several gifts and souvenirs. At first glance the shops seem to have all the same stuff but look closely and you’ll find different things and plenty of unique items at good prices.

  • 4/5 Richard W. 7 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    Eh. Pretty cool. Most of the shops were closed at 3pm, but you could still see their artwork displayed. A few artists are outside painting and of course they’re more than happy to talk to you about the works they have for sale. Some of them are very good, a few I didn’t care too much for

    I think one of the Puebla’s nicest places, very quiet and typical. A full immersion in the artisanal world of this city. Take a nice walk!

  • 4/5 André D. 1 year ago on Google
    No much to see, but if you are in Puebla it's nice to pass by.

  • 5/5 Jesus G. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a pleasure walking in the unique and peaceful place.

  • 4/5 Robert B. 1 year ago on Google
    Tons of food vendors with varying levels of politeness

  • 3/5 L L. 1 year ago on Google
    It looks better in the evenings when the lights are up and street performers churning out romantic tunes.

  • 5/5 Maria S. 10 months ago on Google
    Love this place! There are beautiful souvenirs around and great places to eat with the best Mexican gourmet. At night you can enjoy live music and a great atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Chiara B. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Eneida M. 6 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Great atmosphere, if you go early you can see the artists at work and purchase art as well as souvenirs at other shops. There is also a nice little Cafe that usually has a live musician playing guitar.

  • 5/5 Bernhard W. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun place to visit and just browse....and buy. Local artisans like to chat and tell you about their works. Souvenirs also plentiful.

  • 2/5 Daniel C. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s alright/nothing to write home about—the artists seemed to be elsewhere. Or maybe invisible? 🤔
