A super-clean, nice shopping mall in Puebla!
This place…read moreseems to be more for the locals, or for home-sick Americans than for tourists. There's all kinds of high-end to medium-end shopping places in this mall. Places like Subway, Urban 21, and other American stores selling things in shiny new boxes made in China. This isn't a place to get mementos from your trip to Puebla. Instead, it's a place to go and not get hassled by shop keepers who make up prices based upon how much it looks like you'd be willing to pay. Everything in this store is like other shopping malls in America. Clearly displayed prices, shiny surfaces, marble walls, clean restrooms.
There's a lot of cool shops here that sell stuff that you'd expect to get in the United States. They even have some cool little things for the kids to do, like a virtual reality booth that takes you on a virtual roller coaster.
The restrooms here were impeccably clean, and free.
There's lots of parking here, as there's a parking garage connected to the mall, and the hotel next door. Just outside of the mall is a wonderful garden that's more interesting than the shopping mall.
The mall feels safe, and it's well lit.
I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this place, since that's not why I came to Puebla, but it was a pleasant surprise to see that not everything in Puebla is sold in marcado stalls by vendors hawking their wares. Instead, it's shop keeps nonchalantly sitting around folding clothes who don't care if you buy their stuff.
