Monterrey city.
Monterrey is the third largest city in Mexico and the capital of the state of Nuevo
León. It is the commercial, industrial, educational, and transportation hub of
northern Mexico, also third in economic importance after Mexico City and
Mexico State. Although it is historically an industrial and commercial city (in fact
most foreign visitors come for business purposes), tourists will be surprised at
the wealth of cultural and entertainment attractions that the city has to offer.
Monterrey traces its modern history to its founding in 1596, when Diego de
Montemayor founded the city, together with 12 first families. The story is told by
a mural on one of the modern grey concrete and black glass government office
towers downtown, just off the Macroplaza. The mural seems odd in its
juxtaposition of Spanish conquestadors set next to a modern city of skyscrapers
and factories. It does capture the spirit of Monterrey though -- a city that isn't so
much a product of its past as it is a product of its future.
Monterrey is an aggressively modern city, unlike most destinations in Mexico.
Although it does have some colonial era sights, and its Barrio Antiguo district
preserves a sense of Monterrey as it was in its once "sleepy town" days, the city
is very much a product of the industrial age of the late 19th and 20th centuries.
Today, Monterrey has a culture that values education and business ethics.
Often referred to as "an industrial giant", the label is truer in the imagination
than it is. Monterrey's big steel and iron works have been shut down for almost
Report
two decades, and even the concrete, glass, and brewing industries don't
dominate the economy as they once did. Instead, people in Monterrey are today
more likely to work in retail, in banking, in telecommunications, IT, health care
or education.
The city enjoys one of Mexico's highest standards of living, and the population
is more educated and cultured than average.
Monterrey is also a large city. The central downtown has a population of about a
million, but the metropolitan area that includes all its adjacent suburban
municipalities brings its total city population to just under 4 million --- similar in
size to the San Francisco Bay Area in the U.S.
