Oaxaca
Mezcal, mole and Zapotec markets in Mexico's most beloved colonial city.

अवलोकन
Oaxaca is the Mexico that travellers fall for: a green-stone colonial centre, a Zapotec and Mixtec cultural heartland, the markets of 20 de Noviembre and Benito Juarez, seven moles, the mezcal villages of the valley, Monte Alban's mountaintop ruins and a Day of the Dead that is the most moving in the country. It is smaller, slower and cheaper than Mexico City, and the Pacific coast (Puerto Escondido, Mazunte) is a mountain road or a short flight away.
यहाँ क्यों जाएं
For the deepest indigenous culture and the best food in Mexico, in a walkable city with spring weather and a modest price tag.

मौसम और घूमने का सबसे अच्छा समय
Mild and dry most of the year at 1,550 m: highs of 26 to 32°C with the hottest, driest months in April and May, a rainy season from June to September with afternoon storms, cool mornings in December and January (around 8°C). No WMO station data is held for Oaxaca, so monthly figures are shown as unavailable.
सबसे अच्छा समय: October to March; late October for Day of the Dead; July for the Guelaguetza.
इस गंतव्य के लिए कोई WMO जलवायु सामान्य आँकड़े उपलब्ध नहीं हैं (No WMO WWIS station for Oaxaca; monthly climate figures are unavailable rather than borrowed); ऊपर दिए गए महीनों के नाम संपादकीय हैं और मौसम की टिप्पणियां पैटर्न को संख्याओं की जगह शब्दों में बताती हैं।
कहाँ ठहरें
Centro for the plazas and churches, Jalatlaco for cobbled calm and cafes, Xochimilco (the barrio, not the canals) for a quieter local feel, Reforma for value, and the villages (Teotitlan del Valle, San Agustin Etla) for weeks in the valley.
मोहल्ले
Centro (plazas, markets), Jalatlaco (cobbles, cafes, murals), Xochimilco (aqueduct, quiet), Reforma (value, local), San Felipe del Agua (hills, affluent), the valley villages.

Cheap, safe and sociable hostels, markets for every meal, Monte Alban by colectivo and the coast beyond.
Spanish schools with homestays, volunteering in the villages and a cultural education in mole and mezcal.

व्यावहारिक
सुरक्षा
Oaxaca city is among Mexico's safest; teachers' protests and road blockades can disrupt travel (often around May and June); the mountain road to the coast has had robberies at night (travel by day or fly).
सामान्य धोखाधड़ी
Few; mezcal sold as 'artisanal' at tourist prices, and inflated Day of the Dead tour packages.
कनेक्टिविटी और दूरस्थ कार्य
Fibre in most central apartments and cafes (50 to 150 Mbps); coworking at Convivio, Selina and a few cafes; 4G is reliable in the city, weaker in the valley.
A calmer nomad base than Mexico City with the same time zones, good cafe fibre and a strong community of long-stayers, artists and Spanish learners; the valley and the coast are the weekends.
