Mexican Roundabouts

thelocalist.com-glorieta-de-los-caballos

If Chicago is known as the city of wind, and Auckland as the city of sails, then Guadalajara could easily be known as the city of roundabouts. And speed bumps – but trust me, these are nowhere near as interesting as the roundabouts.

Don’t understand a roundabout in Mexico. It is even possible that I had my very first encounter with art on Mexico’s roundabouts, as most of them are adorned with sculptures. Some of my early childhood memories involve driving past the iconic roundabout known as the “Glorieta Minerva” in Guadalajara and staring into the eyes of the Roman goddess. Even on my first visit to Mexico City as a kid one of my freshest memories is us driving past the Angel of Independence located on a roundabout on Paseo de la Reforma in downtown Mexico city.

Another iconic roundabout in Guadalajara came into my life when I was a little older. It’s popularly known as the “Glorieta de los Caballos”, or simply “the horse roundabout”, as it features a massive sculpture of wild horses running called The Stampede (pictured above).

I immediately fell in love with this roundabout.

It might have been because I first noticed this roundabout at an age when I was developing my taste and aesthetic. The way the horses were sculpted, combined with the techniques used, were really different and refreshing to me. They represented the world of art deco and classical sculptures. Perhaps the appeal of this roundabout during my high school years also reflected the fact that, like many teenagers, I felt trapped in a world of structure and protocol with no way out. This sculpture in a way made me feel free. I wanted to be one of the horses running wild on that hill.

In retrospect I look at those art deco and classical sculptures in roundabouts such as “Glorieta Ninos Heroes” and I fall in love again, not only with the beauty of their design, but also with their historical significance for all Mexicans.

  18. Good day! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
    I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve
    had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.

    I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  19. Hi there, I think your site could be having browser
    compatibility problems. Whenever I take a
    look at your site in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in I.E., it has some overlapping issues.
    I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Aside from that, fantastic
    blog!
