We have done all sorts over Christmas in Oaxaca: a mammoth baking session, tasty fish dinner at local posh restaurant, ten pin bowling, wine and cheese party at ours, pot luck Christmas Day lunch with lots of ex-pats at the library, bus tour (in Spanish!) of Oaxaca and lots of catch ups with friends.
We thought we would treat ourselves to a few days away in Mitla which is a couple of hours away. We booked in to a friend’s Airbnb. It was gorgeous. The rooms were beautifully put together with lots of local backstories and the breakfast was yummy. Mitla has a population of 10,000 so it feels really local and small. Although it was fiesta time both nights with a ticketed centre full of people enjoying the Christmas lights and listening to the mexican bands. We had loads of fun and ate lots of street snacks: corn, tostas, tortas, punch, chocolate and a dubiously shaped waffle! We also looked round the small set of ruins with a palace and tombs. We are already planning to come back one weekend.
