Press Release Summary: The Hacienda la Noria in Oaxaca, Mexico offers guests a
chance to experience the Oaxacan culture and cuisine.

Press Release Body: Oaxaca, Mexico - Declared as a World Heritage Site by the United
Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Oaxaca's fame
can be attributed mainly to the beauty and harmony of its architecture, the richness
of its cultural traditions, the wide variety of its culinary offerings, and its
year-round, mild, temperate climate.

The Hacienda la Noria, situated in at the heart of this quaint city rich in Mexico's
vast heritage, offers guests the perfect vantage point from which to partake the
city's many offerings. Beaches, archeological sites, museums, markets, and churches
are all within reach, with the hotel's ideal location.

Apart from the above-mentioned attractions, it is likewise important to note that
Oaxaca is one of Mexico's famous culinary destinations. Because the Hacienda la
Noria is centrally located, guests can easily partake of the city's many gastronomic
offerings by taking a trip to the zocalo and visiting any of the open-air
marketplaces found there. Gastronomic delights such as the quesilla (a stringy
cheese highly similar to mozzarella), empanadas de Amarillo (a turnover with a
special yellow sauce), chorizo bien frito (well fried spicy sausage), the mole (a
rich sauce that combines ground nuts, chilis, spices, tomatoes, and chocolate) can
all be sampled right off the streets. Meanwhile, the adventurous can choose to try
the exotic chapulines, or fried grasshoppers seasoned with salt, chili pepper, and
lime juice; salsita de gusanos (maguey worm sauce); or the Mezcal, a fermented and
distilled liquor derived from the Agave cactus.

After a day spent exploring, the Hacienda la Noria welcomes it guests home to any of
its 81 spacious and tastefully appointed rooms all equipped with modern conveniences
such as tiled floors, private baths, cable television, computerized phones, and
ceiling fans. Attentive and highly trained staff from La Terraza and Las Cañastas,
the hotel's bar and restaurant, respectively, will be more than willing to prepare
any dish that will satisfy your gastronomic cravings.
