Shot in January 2023 at about noon, 20 degrees celsius. Condesa or La Condesa is an area in the Cuauhtémoc Borough of Mexico City, south of Zona Rosa and 4 to 5 km west of the Zócalo, the city's main square. It is immediately west of Colonia Roma, together with which it is designated as a "Barrio Mágico Turístico" ("Magic Neighborhood for Tourists"). Together they are often referred to as Condesa–Roma, one of the most architecturally significant and bastion of the creative communities of the city.[1] It consists of three colonias or officially recognized neighborhoods: Colonia Condesa, Colonia Hipódromo and Colonia Hipódromo Condesa. The area is considered to be fashionable and popular with younger businesspeople, students and pet lovers. It features a large number of international restaurants, bars and nightclubs. "Condesa" means "countess" and it is named after María Magdalena Dávalos de Bracamontes y Orozco, the Countess of Miravalle, whose lands stretched from what is now Colonia Roma to Tacubaya. The area began as lands belonging to two countesses in the colonial period. By the 19th century and early 20th century, the process of subdividing this land was already begun although Colonia Condesa proper would not be established until the very early 20th century. Condesa is considered fashionable, especially among young businesspeople, students, pet lovers and others.[2] There are some wide avenues and lined with trees. It is mostly filled with restaurants, cafés, boutiques and art galleries.[3] Some of these shops include the Rosario Castellanos bookstore, which includes a cáfe, an auditorium theatre and a children's room,[4] the Bar Malverde, with its lucha libre theme,[5] and the Café La Gloria, which has been around for over a decade.[6] Most of the bars and cafes are concentrated along Amsterdam and Michoacán avenues.[7] While the area has been residential, its “bohemian” character has only been in existence since the late 1980s. While longtime residents complain about noise, crime and other disturbances, the overall reputation of the area continues to grow and attract more restaurants.[8] Most of these residents are young and affluent, with only two of the areas 13 K-8 schools being public.[9] ARCHITECTURE Condesa as well as Roma and Centro Histórico was affected by the 1985 earthquake, this event is part of the history and memory of the inhabitants of the neighborhood. Many buildings survived and are now examples of Art Deco architecture, as well as innovative modern designs, which give it an overall urban touch.[2][3] Many buildings date back to the 1920s, such is the case of the Condesa DF hotel, housed in a 1928 apartment complex; though the art deco style was predominant through to the 1940s. In addition, a lot of new apartment buildings have been built on the sites of former original demolished houses and other infill sites. CULTURE The trolleybuses of Roma Condesa are permanently parked trolleybuses donated to Mexico by the Japanese government in 2000, with the idea of creating educational centers, but they sat abandoned until 2005, when the “Galería Trolebús” (Trolleybus Gallery) was begun to promote non-traditional art projects. The gallery ceased operations in 2009 due to financial problems, but the buses are still used for theater and other art projects. El Plaza Condesa is a concert hall that holds an audience of 1,900.[18] A bastion of the creative communities of the city, Condesa is home to many art galleries.[19] Source: wikipedia
