About this episode
Today we're visiting a destination that could define the word paradox - where the city is monumental in size, but the people are still warm. Where modern art takes its cues from the fringes, while also honoring history. And the culinary scene… is recognized as one of the best in the world, yet many dishes are still prepared in the same ancient methods that they've always been.
Joining me today to chat about Mexico City are three special guests - Octavio Aguilar, a real estate developer and owner of the beautiful hotel Casa Polanco; Kit Hammond, the Chief Curator of the modern art museum Museo Jumex, and Tim McBride, an expert in planning itineraries in Mexico City and beyond.
The four of us chat about everything from Aztec canals, to Salvador Dali, to the quirkiness of the city, the food, the music, the passion, and more.
Grab a copita of your finest mescal, and enjoy this fun episode of Luxury Travel Insider.
