The Streets in Cuernavaca, Mexico

Billy and Akaisha Kaderli

Cuernavaca is a city known for its temperate climate. Dignitaries from around the world have built vacation homes here for just this reason, and residents of the Capitol, Mexico City come here for daytrips and quick getaways.

We had just spent some time in Puebla, Mexico, and decided to take a quick trip to Cuernavaca while we were in the area.

One thing we noticed right away, is that the side streets of this city were colorful, quaint and sometimes quirky.

Tiled fountain and wrought iron balconies

The side streets in Cuernavaca were well-tended. Here you see a drained fountain with Talavara tiles.

Wrought iron balconies decorate flat-fronted buildings, and beautiful archways complete the Colonial look.  

Young woman standing in the doorway

This beautiful young lady was having her photo taken by a friend. The various backgrounds made each photo captivating.

This sky blue building with the greenery surrounding it gave a soft, romantic feel.

Restaurants and bars line this tiny callejon

With its attractive painted buildings, beautiful plants and cobblestone walkways, this alley was enchanting.

In this distinct way, Cuernavaca seemed more artistic in representation than Puebla streets did.

Beautiful greenery draping down from the rooftop plants

This azure blue painted building is stunning with the vines cascading down from the rooftop.

Look closely and you will see the same woman mentioned previously, having her photo taken again by her friend.

Mural of Green Blob on a deep purple building

In general, murals are very commonplace in Mexico. They add drama and dimension to the ordinary.

Another characteristic about Mexico, is that they are not afraid of using color. This deep purple building is attention-getting.

Another distinctive mural on the side of a building

This mural is done by the same artist as the one in the previous photo. He is quite talented, and his work adds to the distinctive character of the city.
