Oaxaca
Mezcal, mole and Zapotec markets in Mexico's most beloved colonial city.
保存
概览
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.
为什么值得一去
For the deepest indigenous culture and the best food in Mexico, in a walkable city with spring weather and a modest price tag.

住在哪里
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.
街区
Centro (plazas, markets), Jalatlaco (cobbles, cafes, murals), Xochimilco (aqueduct, quiet), Reforma (value, local), San Felipe del Agua (hills, affluent), the valley villages.

可做的事
按旅行风格划分
一个目的地数据库,七种查看方式,契合度为编辑评分,满分五分。
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.
US time zones, a strong long-stay community, cafes with fibre and a city that is easy to love; smaller coworking scene than the capital.
The classic stop between Mexico City and Chiapas or the coast on the way south.
Mild climate, low costs, culture and a large expat and retiree community; healthcare is adequate locally and excellent in Mexico City.
Spanish immersion, cooking classes in mole, weaving and natural dye workshops, mezcal study.
Walkable, gentle, beautiful and safe, with good hotels from $50 and the valley by driver; a favourite of older travellers for decades.
实用信息
安全
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).
常见骗局
Few; mezcal sold as 'artisanal' at tourist prices, and inflated Day of the Dead tour packages.
网络连接与远程办公
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.

Spanish, with Zapotec and Mixtec in the villages; English in tourism, otherwise limited: one of Mexico's best Spanish-school cities.

Ask before photographing people in markets and villages, buy crafts from makers, respect Day of the Dead as a family rite, and dress modestly in churches.
