Poliforum Mier y Pesado.

beautiful place to spend the day, the garden is very clean, around it has restaurants of all kinds of food for the taste of the palate!

Gardens are ok, even nice. Interior is kind of caotic, laberint with no thread. Restaurants somehow hidden in the back, many closed or with small service. Bathrooms are clean, if you can find them. No place to park without really tricky fees and service hours are changed all the time: clearly "designed" to trick visitors and capture their cars with a metalic piece of crab so the municipality can extract your wallet with astronomical tickets; you can notice how they (policemen) hide and keep cheking their watches for the small minute time past and land on your car to immobilize it (so they can charge you their non legal "infracciones"). Supposedly you have to pay something near three pesos for 22 minutes, but if you dare be one minute late they dont just charge an extra hour, but a whole day and more if you dare to argue this unjust approach. Really fearsome. The the police chief officer emergeswho knows from where and yells at you, and threatens with taking away your car; even more, a neighbor car owner told me he saw once this policemen beating and dragging away an old man from other state. They are particularly vicious with tourists and cars from other states. Be careful. Better not to park at this county parking spaces, the ones enclosed in blue lines. Fortunely there are two parking lots; one is free of charge in Faro plaza, next door, other one is very cheap and free of eager policemen, as anybody willing to stay out of trouble expects.

Before it was a home for the elderly, it was kind of a castle for the couple Mier & Pesado, now, it has been remodeled and looks amazing. It is very nice and comfortable to walk around all the hallways, rooms, and gardens. You’ll find interesting museums and good restaurants. Definitely a must visit place in Orizaba Pueblo Magico.

The place is really pretty so, if you are near the are you should give it a look.

Beautiful view feeling like in Europe ! Excellent restaurants and the museum it’s lovely!
