Places to Visit
Here’s an eclectic sampling of interesting places, in the UK and abroad, with connections to (ancient) Mexico. When you next visit Madrid, incidentally, do walk around the beautiful Parque del Retiro, near Atocha railway station, and look for the ‘oldest tree in Madrid’, a Mexican ahuehuete, planted there in 1633. It conjures up images of the famous Tree of the Sad Night, in Popotla, Mexico City...
