Oaxaca (Part 3)

I enjoyed my time in Oaxaca so much that I decided to come back here for Christmas 🎄
And it was definitely a good decision. Returning to the „Hostal Central“ felt a little bit like coming home since I knew the place and some people there already. The staff in our hostel had prepared a delicious Christmas dinner for Christmas Eve which I enjoyed very much. The menu consisted of Pork loin, Stuffed turkey, Mashed potatoes, Salads and Pasta. For drinks we had Sangria, red wine, beer and Mezcal.
Christmas Day was a slow day and I left the hostel only for a fresh goiaba, orange, ginger and honey Juice at a nearby Juice bar. The fresh juices are really good here. During my 2nd time in Oaxaca, I have been there every day. In the evening, the hostel had organised another mezcal tasting before we went out to a small Salsa 💃 bar with live music.

On my last day we went on a walk to „La Cantina do outro mundo“ in the Reforma
district. On the way we passed the Xochimilco district with its many walls exhibiting beautiful street art. The cantina had an interesting twist to their menu: they had a pre-made multi-course menu but you would only order drinks. The number of drinks would determine which course you get. So, for the first drink you would get the starter, for the second drink you would get the second course, etc. We ordered only until the 4th drink/course. So, I don’t know how many courses they had prepared but I believe they had at least a fifths one. 😅
In the evening of the 26th, I took the night bus to San Christobal de las Casas - a small town in the mountains of the Chiapas region and my next destination.Read more
