A visit to Casa de México en España

In the heart of Madrid, Fundación Casa de México en España stands as a vibrant celebration of Mexican culture, offering locals and visitors a glimpse into the nation’s artistic and cultural treasures. On a recent visit, I had the opportunity to explore two standout exhibits: Arte Moderno de México and Belenes de México. Both exhibits highlight the diversity and richness of Mexican heritage, and as someone of Mexican descent, the experience resonated with me on a deeply personal level.

My friends and I decided to take advantage of a sunny weekend and head out for a day hike—and it turned out to be one of the most memorable trips of my time in Madrid.
