Condesa and Roma were born at the beginning of this soon-to-end century and are noted for their eclectic, art-nouveau and art-deco style buildings, which were so typical in the latter years of Porfirio Diaz presidency and immediately after Mexican Revolution.
Condesa is the Soho of Mexico City, because of its many bistro-type restaurants and throngs of artists and bohemians, who either live there or gather there.
