Then we’ll engage with local artisans who create straw blooms, a tradition rooted in Día de Muertos and flower festivals. • We’ll make a stop at the food stalls to snack on quesadillas—made with flowers, of course. As we wander, we’ll keep our eyes out for floral bouquets that reflect your unique personality. Bring cash if you’d like to purchase flowers from the vendors.

Sunset at Luis Barragán’s Casa Jardín Ortega

Visiting Casa Ortega is like stepping into the quiet beginnings of Luis Barragán’s architectural language. Designed and inhabited by Barragán himself, this was more than a home—it was his first built manifesto. Here, he experimented with techniques, materials, and spatial concepts that would later define masterpieces like his Casa Estudio. The house carries a sense of introspection. Every element—walls, windows, transitions—feels like a question being asked, a possibility being explored. It's a place of trial, of intuition, of becoming. Suddenly, you’re transported. Inspired by the gardens of the Alhambra in Granada and the magical landscapes imagined by Ferdinand Bac, the garden at Casa Ortega is a poetic composition of light, water, and vegetation. It feels both structured and wild—carefully designed, yet alive and unpredictable. You sit beside the fountain, its quiet trickle echoing against the walls how Barragán, was shaping space as a form of emotional and spiritual experience. This garden isn’t just a retreat—it’s a revelation. A precursor to the contemplative sanctuaries he would later create, where silence, color, and nature speak louder than words. Throughout the visit, Gerardo will guide you through each of these spaces—sharing stories, secrets, and some of the quiet enigmas that surround Luis Barragán’s early life and work.
