Introduction

Puebla's Zocalo is the geometric and social centre of a World Heritage colonial city, enclosed by the cathedral, the municipal palace and arcaded shops. Dense trees and benches fill the square, a bandstand hosts evening concerts, and by dusk residents and vendors take over; cafe tables under the arcades frame the towers and the volcano skyline. With no ticket or fence, it is the natural start of an old-town walk, leading north to the craft shops of Calle de los Sapos and its Talavera ceramics, and south to churches and museums.
