Next Saturday, August 16, the Chocolate Museum (Museo del Chocolate, C. Milán 45, Juárez, Cuauhtémoc) in CDMX will be the setting for a unique event: the Literary Breakfast with the Countess of Miravalle. An experience that combines history, gastronomy and mystery in an atmosphere worthy of the nobility of the 18th century.
From 9:00 to 11:00 am, attendees will enjoy a special menu while reliving the life and legends of María Magdalena Catalina Dávalos de Bracamontes y Orozco, the woman who gave her name to the Condesa neighborhood.
Between mimosas and a delicious menu, secrets that have remained between history and myth will be revealed. The finishing touch to this experience will be full access to the MUCHO tour, where chocolate tells its own story, from the original cultures to contemporary gastronomy.
This Literary Breakfast with the Countess of Miravalle is not only a gastronomic event, but a cultural immersion that rescues the memory of a powerful woman and questions the myths that surround her.
