"According to legend, Puebla was founded by angels in 1532 so that mortals could enjoy their lives in the town. This legend led to Puebla becoming known as the City of Angels. Surrounded by the picturesque volcanoes of Popocatépetl and Iztaccihuatl, the town offers a great deal in terms of art and culture, as well as a wealth of tradition. Puebla is internationally known for its many monuments of Spanish colonial architecture. A large number of its buildings are covered in the beautiful Talavera tiles. In particular, Puebla Cathedral and the Rosary Chapel—“the eighth wonder of the New World”—are well worth visiting. The Palafoxiana Library was the continent’s first public library, holding over 43,000 works.

But Puebla is about more than just the history of Mexico. It is also a modern city. For example, it is home to the largest transportable Ferris wheel in Latin America, known as the Star of Puebla and one of the most-visited tourist attractions in the city.

Puebla’s extraordinary cuisine, with its unique dishes, is extremely popular with visitors. The most famous local dish is “mole poblano”: chillies in a walnut sauce. In Puebla there is a “Sweet Street” where you can try all kinds of sweet treats and typical delicacies such as traditional sweet potatoes, sweet butter pastries, waffles with honey, pepitorias, sandwich biscuits, pumpkin seeds, and doughnuts.
