Geocache Description:

Caché cercano a la frontera entre San Ángel y el pueblo de Tizapán. El caché está localizado del lado de San Ángel, pero si cruzas la calle Frontera, notarás que los letreros de direcciones se refieren ya al pueblo de Tizapán.

Como en muchos sitios dentro del gran DF, Tizapán ("sobre la tiza") fue un pueblo separado de la ciudad e incluso de San Ángel. Tizapán fue habitado por los mexicas y evangelizado por los dominicos en siglo XVI, quienes construyeron la ermita de San Jacinto en San Ángel. Los dominicos iniciaron un sistema de hiladoras que aprovechaban las caídas de agua de la zona, actividad que para los siglos XVIII y XIX derivó en fábricas textiles seculares. De este modo San Ángel y el pueblo de Tizapán han estado entrelazados económica y políticamente a lo largo de su historia y a pesar de su cercanía geográfica la frontera es aún visible: San Ángel con las cazonas de un barrio rico y Tizapán con las casas de un barrio popular.

ENGLISH
-----------
The cache is near the border of San Ángel and the town of Tizapán. The cache is on San Ángel's side, but if you cross Frontera street you will notice that the signal posts now refer to Tizapán town. As in many places inside the big DF, Tizapan ("on the chalk") was once a town separated from the city and even from San Ángel. Tizapan was inhabited by the Mexicas and evangelized by the Dominicians during the XVI century. The Dominicians built San Jacinto's ermit, in San Ángel and started a system of spinnings using the waterfalls that used to exist in the area. This activity evolved into secular textile factories during the XVIII and XIX centuries. In this way, San Ángel and Tizapán have been economically and politically related, but despite their geographical proximity their border is still noticeable: San Angel has the large elegant houses of a rich neighborhood, whilst San Angel shows the smaller houses of the working class.
