Puebla is a wealthy city with boutique shops and many fine dining options, many of which can be found around it´s modern-art-sculpture filled picturesque main square, also known as a Zocolo.
The Sunday market 1/2 mile away from the main square is a shoppers paradise. An upscale market where you are just as likely to find Prada and Gucci wearing Pueblan's next to the typical market crowd. I bought a wallet and a tablecloth.
We also visited the world biggest (ugliest) pyramid, by volume, in the world. What a tourist trap, and I wasn't smart enough to avoid the Pulque for a second time.

Carnival dancing in streets. For some reason all the men were dressed up as women and dancing with freakish looking masked men. Orale!
