 Cuernavaca,
the capital of the state of Morelos, is located just one
hour from Mexico City. It is known for its friendly
hospitality and mild climate with more than 320 days of
sunshine per year.
Throughout
its history, Cuernavaca has hosted countless famous
guests because of its pleasant climate and relaxing life
style. Those who have called Cuernavaca home include the
Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortez and the 19th century
Austrian emperor Maximilian and his wife Carlota.
 When Cortez and his troops
arrived in the central highlands, the Aztecs showed them
how to escape Mexico City's winter chill by spending the
colder months in a town about 40 miles / 60 kms south.
It's name, Cuauhnahuac, meant 'place of great trees' in
the native Nahuatl language.
To the Spanish it sounded
like 'cuerno de vaca', which in their native tongue means
"cow's horn", and that's how we got Cuernavaca.
 Today, the
city attracts well-to-do weekend visitors seeking refuge
from the hectic Mexican capital and retirees from around
the world, including members of European royal families.
In Cuernavaca
cultural events and fine cuisine are but a stone's throw
from the ANDERS LANGUAGES® RESIDENCE: the Cuauhnáhuac
Museum, Diego Rivera murals, the Palace of Cortez, the
400-year-old cathedral, the pyramids of Xochicalco, world
famous restaurants, luxury stores and folkloric centers
such as the local crafts market, the main square with its
colorful vendors´ stands, and the narrow, winding
streets lined with street merchants peddling everything
imaginable.
 For golfers, Cuernavaca offers two acclaimed golf courses
located less than ten minutes from the residence.
