THE CITY OF CUAUTLA: “Where the eagles are abundant”
Arriving at the glass-walled ADO terminal, I exited the building to the greeting of horns blaring, the stench of choking exhaust fumes, and the shrill bleating of a policeman’s whistle as he tried futilely to evoke order from this chaos of gridlock. It seemed like all 300, 000 residents were headed down this street at the same time. Welcome to Cuautla. The name means something like “next to the eagles” in the indigenous tongue of the Indians in this area. Inching my way across two lanes of stalled traffic to the other side of the street, I turned right, heading south on Calle 2 de Mayo. Three and a half blocks later I turned into the tranquil, fern-lined courtyard of the Hotel España and booked a room on the second floor. Tossing my bags on one of the two double beds, I sprawled across the other for a moment’s breather. I’d been through Cuautla’s worst already, “From here on it could only get better”, I thought. I was right. They did get better – much, much better.
