A Walk Around Escandon Mexico City on Film

During our visit to Mexico City in February 2022, we rented an apartment in the neighborhood of Escandon, which lies just south of hip Condesa. Its proximity and short walking distance to areas like Condesa and Roma, while still remaining slightly outside the tourist sphere, was what drew us to stay here. I spent many mornings and afternoons just wandering around, and even though it’s not a large neighborhood, I kept finding things to discover. The main commercial street, Avenida Jose Marti, was always bustling and I enjoyed walking up and down watching locals go about their daily business. Escandon still retains its middle-class roots, though as in much of Mexico City, construction can be found all over. I found Escandon a charming, lively neighborhood. Here is a look at life along Jose Marti, captured on film.
