| Hotel Bella Vista, he read – UTV, 35.
... there'd been no taxi at the tiny Quauhnahuac airfield though, only the bumptious station wagon that insisted on taking her to the Bella Vista – UTV, 43. The Bella Vista in 1938 was the pick-up and drop-off point for first-class cabs and carriages, which is why the station wagon "insisted" on taking Yvonne there. No longer a hotel but a sophisticated commercial complex on the north of the Zócalo, the Bella Vista was in 1938 Cuernavaca's most up-to-date hotel. This photograph, taken from an old faded print inside the Cortés Palace, gives an indication of a beauty, long gone. |

This photo, c. 1925, shows the Teatro Morelos and an adjacent cantina, then (but presumably not in Lowry's day) also called "La Terminal". From Sergio Barrera, Crónicas de Cuernavaca, 105. |
