Val’Quirico: A Taste of Tuscany Near Mexico City 🇮🇹✨
📍 Why Visit? Closer than San Miguel/Taxco (just 1.5-2hrs from CDMX) Italian-inspired charm: Cobblestone alleys, vine-covered terraces, and live cello music in the plaza Perfect day trip – no need to stay overnight 🚗 Getting There Drive: Depart CDMX at 8-9AM (avoid traffic) Route: Federal Highway 150D → Exit at Tlaxcala/Puebla Parking: Free lots near the entrance ⏳ Ideal Itinerary Morning: Stroll Piazza Maggiore (main square) Snap photos of fake-but-photogenic "medieval" towers Afternoon: Lunch at Trattoria della Nonna (try the truffle pasta!) Listen to live classical music (often Por Una Cabeza!) Evening: Option 1: Return to CDMX (~2hrs) Option 2: Stay in Puebla (30 mins away) for dinner & colonial sights 🍽️ Pro Tips No luggage: Cobblestones are wheelchair-unfriendly (and suitcase-unfriendly!) Combo trip: Pair with Cholula pyramid or Puebla’s talavera tiles #ValQuirico #DayTripFromCDMX #MexicoTravel #TuscanyVibes
