PUEBLA
The city of Puebla, formally Puebla de los Ángeles, is the seat of the Municipality of Puebla, the capital and largest city of the state of Puebla, and one of the five most important Spanish colonial cities in Mexico.
The city was founded in 1531 in an area called Cuetlaxcoapan, which means "where serpents change their skin", in between of two of the main indigenous settlements at the time, Tlaxcala and Cholula. This valley was not populated in the 16th century as in the pre-Hispanic period; this area was primarily used to the "flower wars" between a number of populations.
Being both the fourth largest city in Mexico and the fourth largest Metropolitan area in Mexico, the city serves as one of the main hubs for eastern Central Mexico. Many students come from all over the country. The city is also important because of its industry, with one of the world's largest Volkswagen factories outside of Germany located in the Municipality of Cuautlancingo. As a result, many suppliers have opened factories in the city of Puebla.

The Battle of Puebla took place on 5 May 1862 near the city of Puebla during the French intervention in Mexico. The battle ended in a victory for the Mexican Army over the occupying French forces. The French eventually overran the Mexicans in subsequent battles, but the Mexican victory at Puebla against a much better equipped and larger French army provided a significant morale boost to the Mexican army and also helped slow the French army's advance towards Mexico City.

But we only focus on four delicious and tasty dishes of this great city: the cemitas, Arab tacos, peppers in walnut sauce, and the mole.
The cemita, also known as cemita poblana, derives from the city (and region) of Puebla. The word refers to the sandwich as well as to the roll it is typically served on, a bread roll covered with sesame seeds. The bread is made with egg, and resembles brioche. Additionally, the ingredients usually are restricted to sliced avocado, meat, white cheese, onions, the herb pápalo and red sauce (salsa roja). In modern times it has appeared on the streets of New York, Los Angeles, and other cities with Mexican food vendors.
The most popular meat in a cemita is beef milanesa, a thinly pounded and deep-fried piece of beef. Cueritos (pickled pig skin), queso de puerco (pork head cheese), and carnitas (stewed pork) are also popular. The cheese is often panela, a bland white cheese with the consistency of fresh mozzarella. Quesillo, a Mexican string cheese, is also used.
The Arab taco originated in the city of Puebla in the thirties, when Mr. Jorge Tabe from Iraq, comes to this city, started a Taco meat cooked cakes and Arabic style business.
Working in a traditional way and with implements designed for themselves. It is so designed his first "doneraky" (The word "doneraky, comes from the Arabic" doner-kava "meaning" vertical spit ").
The traditional chile en nogada is from Puebla; it is tied to the independence of this country since it is said they were prepared for the first time to entertain the emperor Agustín de Iturbide when he came to the city after his naming as Agustín I. This dish is a source of pride for the inhabitants of the state of Puebla.
Some Mexican historians believe the inventors of this dish were the Monjas Clarisas, although others think they were the Madres Contemplativas Agustinas of the convent of Santa Monica, Puebla.
The picadillo usually contains panochera apple (manzana panochera), sweet-milk pear (pera de leche) and criollo peach (durazno criollo). The cream usually has milk, double cream, fresh cheese and washed nuts. The traditional season for making and eating this dish is August and first half of September, when pomegranates appear in the markets of Central Mexico and the national independence festivities begin. In some areas, the dish is created depending on when the pomegranates are ripe - usually between early October and January.
ingredients.
The mole poblano combines several ingredients, such as chicken with sauce mole that is prepared with cocoa or chocolate tablet with no or very little sweet, ancho chilies, mulatto chiles, pasilla chiles, chipotle, tomatoes, almonds, bananas, nuts, raisins, sesame seeds, cloves, cinnamon, parsley, pepper, onion, garlic and tortillas.
The correct proportions, properly do not exist, and some ingredients may be omitted or varied in proportion.
The mole poblano is a culinary specialty of the city of Puebla, Mexico. It consists mainly of a sauce from a variety of ingredients poured over pieces of turkey, a name given in Mexico to turkey. It is one of the most representative dishes of the country.
One version places the mole poblano in the Convent of Santa Rosa in the city of Puebla, the state capital of Puebla (Mexico) when a nun ground different chilies and other seasonings together in a metate.
Another version says that the Mole Poblano (the original recipe used about one hundred ingredients), was created in Puebla de los Angeles in the seventeenth century by Sor Andrea de la Asuncion, dominica nun of the convent of Santa Rosa on the occasion of a celebration .

If you go by the federal road that goes Tepeaca , it will make you the shortest route, but more time will be approximately 3 hours, you should go through rail transportation, and populations put stops to pass people .
