|  | This great square, called the Zocalo, evokes the place of homage and center of the world which was the heart of the ceremonial nucleus of Mexico-Tenochtitlan. The Zocalo brings together the rhythmic beating of drums, the ankle-rattles of the native dancers and the glowing incense of modern day medicine men. A point of reference, of protest, of ritual and of national celebration, by night it offers an imposing spectacle which culminates in the tumultuous popular festivities on the 15th of September (eve of Mexico's Independence Day). |
| | In Mexican movies as in more personal moments of celebration, city dwellers always refer to the Plaza de Garibaldi as the best place in town where music, carousing and typical Mexican food can be heartily enjoyed until the late, late hours. |
