About Lily Park
Lily has lived in La Condesa for eight years and has been writing about the neighborhood since 2021. She focuses on hidden gems, local history, and the kind of places that don't make it into tourist guides.
Before writing for La Condesa Weekly, Lily was a researcher at UNAM and wrote a thesis on urban change in Colonia Condesa. She knows the history behind the art deco buildings and the stories of the people who've shaped the barrio.
Her recommendations are the ones you won't find on Google. The barbershop with no sign. The park bench with the best view. The tienda that's been there for forty years. That's the La Condesa she wants to share.

About their perspective
The best things about a neighborhood are often the ones you have to discover yourself. I write for people who want to know the stories behind the streets they walk every day.
