Cuernavaca, capital of the state of Morelos, is one of the most ancient cities in México and is located 60 kilometres from México City. There are historical references that take us back to the year 1200 B.C., to what could be considered the first human settlement of the region. We are talking about the fifth nahualteca tribe founded in the Cuauhnáhuac region, luminous valley to which they descended from the Ajusco Mountain Range at the end of their pilgrimage from up north, place serving in the future as capital of the estate. With the arrival of the Spaniards the name Cuauhnáhuac would change into Cuernavaca, becoming later on into Hernán Cortés summer holiday resort, as well as a favorite place for many celebrities who have found here a perfect location to live permanently.
Cuernavaca possesses an accidental city planning, with evident immoderate growth during recent decades; the main avenues are narrow, the streets twirl into pronounced slopes, intertwining occasionally with no order whatsoever. Well then, what exactly has attracted the attention of so many to this city?
Most appear to coincide in the affirmation that it has been the weather of the region, to such a degree that Cuernavaca has been known as “The City of the Eternal Spring”. And it’s been precisely this heavenly fame that has converted it into a “weekend” city, a city of repose where there are many properties that belong, mainly, to people that live in México City and who come here in order to get away from the hustle and bustle of the great capital. In the surrounding area of the Boulevard Juárez or the street of Galeana located downtown, there are various high walls surrounding big houses of lineage; grand and luxurious residence areas like Vista Hermosa or the Golf Club Tabachines, residencial compounds that follow one after the other in colonies such as Delicias, Rancho Cortés or Acapantzingo. Actors, embassadors, business men and all sorts of personalities have owned or own a property in Cuernavaca. Nevertheless there is another aspect that has recently characterized this city: foreign students, coming mainly from the US, arrive every year to attend to summer courses where spanish is taught, giving rise to a series of schools and boarding houses which depend mainly on this student sector that is constantly growing. But of course, Cuernavaca offers many other aspects of tourist and cultural interest.
