Night owls and churches in Cholula

Cholula, Puebla is known as the town of churches, but to me it will forever remain as the land of night owls, and I’m not saying this because of the diversity of nocturnal winged creatures. I’m talking about other kind of creatures, human seekers of fun, to be precise, and I like being precise. The young-partier population here is phenomenal, so if you are looking for entertainment (whichever your intention is) this is the right place to be at. Cholula is famous for its nightlife, wether you are looking for a wild party or a relaxing gathering with your significant other, with live music and a romantic atmosphere, or simply a fine dinner. During daylight, you can enjoy a peaceful, but acculturating walk to visit all of the 365 old-fashioned churches looking for peace and salvation or join the clan of pedal-driven velocipedes and rent a bicycle to increase the level of fun during your enlightening absorption of Puebla’s culture, depending on your intentions, but when the face of the moon is completely set, lighting up your most attractive features, is when the real fun commences. And you sure will be wholeheartedly awaiting invitation into the soul-warming, entrance of one of its dance clubs, an elite bar (where only those that are really living the high life are), a sly, but non the less, coquet tavern, or a traditional Irish pub, right in the core of this picturesque little town.

I spent nearly two weeks here in the capital of night life impetuous merry, enjoying a bloody marry accompanied with green beans and Portobello mushroom sauté, conducting an after-walk horde of bikers  through the pyramids and painting a mural in the walls of a coffee shop-gallery.

Cholula is a small town about 15 minutes out of Puebla (15 by motor transportation), flanked by idyllic flower fields, lush, gorgeous architecture, blankets of fluffy clouds (the elevation is roughly 1.3 miles) and the solitary pyramids anyone will be having a chance to climb (or go in its insides).

Life here is easy but not simple. Fanciful residents and visitors adorn the streets at sunrise and until the place completely awakens to a day that for many of its residents predominantly consists of admiring the beautiful treasure its town is. Some folks step into Cholula seeking for fresh air and stick until their sprit is renewed by the never-ending happiness and fulfillment that is granted to everyone who dares to tame their thirst of living the life (which by the way is very accessible for the economy of a backpacker).

This was my first trip here, and my sense of satisfaction with the mission of making awesome memories completed is trumped by how very much more there is to be done in here.
