Coyoacán
This relatively large area in the southwest of Mexico City has always been a counterculture hotbed. This is where Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera lived, a few blocks away from Leon Trotsky, and the tranquil residential area, with parks, squares, and cobblestone streets, is now a favourite spot for the bohemia set.Photo: Wikimedia, CC BY-SA 3.0.
