Hangover remedies

Hangover remedies consist of foods, dishes, and medicines, that have been described as having a theoretical potential for easing or alleviating symptoms associated with the hangover.
The following foods and dishes have been described as having a theoretical potential for easing or alleviating symptoms associated with the hangover. Hangover foods have not been scientifically proven to function as a remedy or cure for the hangover.
While recommendations and folk cures for foods and drinks to relieve hangover symptoms abound, hangover foods have not been scientifically proven to function as a remedy or cure for the hangover.
In a review assessing eight randomised controlled trials of propranolol, tropisetron, tolfenamic acid, fructose/glucose, a yeast preparation and supplements containing Borago officinalis, Cynara scolymus and Opuntia ficus-indica, researchers concluded that "no compelling evidence exists to suggest that any conventional or complementary intervention is effective for preventing or treating alcohol hangover."
Various folk medicine remedies exist for hangovers. The ancient Romans, on the authority of Pliny the Elder, favored raw owl's eggs or fried canary as a hangover remedy, while the "prairie oyster" restorative, introduced at the 1878 Paris World Exposition, calls for raw egg yolk mixed with Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper. By 1938, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel provided a hangover remedy in the form of a mixture of Coca-Cola and milk (Coca-Cola itself having been invented, by some accounts, as a hangover remedy). Alcoholic writer Ernest Hemingway relied on tomato juice and beer.
Other purported hangover cures includes more alcohol, for example cocktails such as Bloody Mary or Black Velvet (consisting of equal parts champagne and stout).
A 1957 survey by an American folklorist found widespread belief in the efficacy of heavy fried foods, tomato juice and sexual activity.
Symbols of Guadalajara

The symbols of city of Guadalajara, Mexico, are the coat of arms or seal and the municipal flag. Other cultural symbols include the Statue of Minerva, the Hospicio Cabañas and the torta ahogada sandwich.
The Coat of arms or Seal of Guadalajara consists of a blue field, a pine of sinople outlined, two lions rampantes of color, opposite to forehead and the legs on the trunk, embroidery is of gold, consists of seven arms of gules. For stamp, closed helmet and for cimera a flag of gules, loaded with a cross of Jerusalem to the one that uses as shaft a lance of the same color, the lambrequins are of gold and blue alternated.
The blue field represents loyalty and serenity, the pine of sinople represents noble thoughts, the lions represent sovereignty and warlike spirit, the arms represent protection, favor and purity of the feelings. They also honor the Spanish combatants in the 1227 Battle of Baeza against the Moors in. The helmet represents nobility and victory in combat. The cross of Jerusalem signifies the conquistadors' descent from the Crusaders, and the lance signifies strength tempered by prudence.
Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, granted the shield and the title of city to Guadalajara in 1539.
The flag of the city of Guadalajara is the emblem of Guadalajara and is used by the town hall as representative symbol of the city. The flag consists of 3 horizontal stripes, blue, yellow and blue respectively, in the central part of the yellow stripe is the Seal of Guadalajara conceived by the emperor Carlos V in 1539.
The colors of the flag of Guadalajara City are inspired by the flag of Jalisco. The meaning of the colors of the municipal flag are as follows:
The design for the flag was commissioned by Francisco Medina Ascencio, the governor of Guadalajara in 1967. The colors blue and yellow, taken from the towers of the metropolitan cathedral, singularly represent the city and can be found in the flowers of urban gardens of the city, urban equipment, taxis, and state traffic plates.
Sandwich roll

Sandwich rolls (Spanish: telera), often referred as teleras or Mexican sandwich rolls, are a type of white bread usually made from wheat flour, yeast, water and salt, used in various Mexican sandwiches.
A crusty french-style sandwich roll is often called a birote, this form of sandwich rolls typically found in Jalisco. The word telera comes from a similar bread from Andalusia. The term telera also means a either a plow pin or a corral and comes from Vulgar Latin *tēlāria. A tortero is one who is in charge of a sandwich roll.

Pambazo

Pambazo (Spanish: [pamˈbaso] ) is a Mexican dish or antojito (very similar to the torta) made with pambazo bread dipped and fried in a red guajillo pepper sauce. It is traditionally filled with papas con chorizo (potatoes with chorizo) or with papas only but there are different varieties.
Pambazos are made from white bread without a crispy crust.
The bread is filled with potato and chorizo, dipped in warm red guajillo pepper sauce, fried, and garnished with shredded lettuce, salsa (sauce), crema (cream), and queso fresco (fresh cheese).
In the Mexican state of Veracruz at social events, small sized pambazos called pambacitos ("little pambazos") are served instead of canapés.
The pambazo bread got its name from the Ladino word pan basso (Spanish pan bajo) or low-class bread from Mexico's viceregal period. During that period, there were bakeries in Mexico dedicated solely to this type of bread named 'panbasserias' (pambacerías).
In some villages from State of Mexico, the pambazos are made with Semitic Mediterranean cuisine influence by the use the acemite or bran for bread made in artisan bakeries about horns of Spanish colonial period, as the case of Malinalco, Tequixquiac and Amecameca.
In Malinalco, state of Mexico makes other pambazos, a Spanish colonial meal are made flour more small to Mexico City pambazos, filled with sausage and potatoes, chicken meat with epazote, shredded lettuce, white cheese, cream and spicy salsa.
In the Mexican state of Tequixquiac pambazos are very different from those of Mexico City, being made flour with dark wheat rind or bran named acemite, filled with sausage and potatoes, turkey meat or lamb meat (barbacoa), shredded lettuce, white cheese, cream and spicy chili chipotle sauce, fried with butter. The name is registered in this place as pan bazo, an archaic Spanish word.
In Puebla City, pambazos are made with flour in the bread named cemita or acemite, filled with sausage and potatoes, avocado, papalo, white cheese, cream and with red spicy salsa on the pambazo.
In Orizaba, Veracruz, an important place with Sephardic roots, is made a pambazo with Carne Polaca "Polish meat", is mixture with traditional pambazo or acemite, meat and lettuce, with spicy sauce.
The Daily Meal reviewed the pambazo with "it’s insanely delicious" in their article "12 Life-Changing Sandwiches You've Never Heard Of". Robert Sietsema described the sandwich as legendary in The Village Voice.
Duros (food)

Duros de harina (also known as pasta para duros, duritos, durros, pasta para durito, chicharrones, churritos, Mexican wagon wheels or pin wheels) are a popular Mexican snack food made of puffed wheat, often flavored with chili and lemon.
When cooked, duros have a light, airy consistency similar to chicharrones. Although both foods contain comparable amounts of fat, chicharrones contain more protein while duros are mainly carbohydrates, as they consist of wheat flour, with added corn starch, salt and baking soda to aid even expansion during cooking.
Duros are sometimes sold by street vendors and can also be purchased in their uncooked pasta-like form at many Mexican grocery stores; they are commonly made in 1-inch-square pieces and round wagon wheel shapes, but they also come in many various sizes of strips and squares.
Duros may be microwaved, but the best results are achieved when they are deep fried. Ready-to-make duros are often sold in supermarkets, and simply require being fried in oil. They are typically seen served by street vendors in a plastic bag and topped with salsa and chili, lime, salt, or with hot sauce and lemon juice that is sprayed into the bag, then finished with chili powder.
Dorze people

The Dorze are one of the Gamo communities inhabiting the Gamo Highlands in southern Ethiopia. They speak the Dorze language, an Omotic tongue.
According to Ethnologue, the Dorze numbered 29,000 individuals (1994 census), of whom 9,910 were monolingual.
They primarily live in the southern parts of the country, though some have migrated to Addis Ababa and other regions. Many reside in villages near the cities of Chencha and Arba Minch.
They speak the Dorze language, an Omotic tongue.
Weaving is a primary profession for a number of Dorze. Traditional Dorze textiles are colourful.
They are known for their traditional weaving of huts made out of local bamboo. The huts can last up to 80 years.
Their polyphonic multi-part vocal music features a sophisticated use of hocket.
Dorze people originally adhered to traditional African religions. Most are members to the faith of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
Communities of Dorze people live on the peripheries of Addis Ababa, mostly in the Burayu and Sebeta areas. A group of Dorze people had a conflict with some Oromo people. This issue got an immediate attention among the Qeerroo who are active in Ethiopian politics in recent years. The incident occurred as the Qeerroo were organizing themselves for the reception of the Oromo Liberation Front leaders, on the 14 and 15 September—following political reform by prime minister Abiy Ahmed. This little conflict between the Dorze and Oromo people grew to a full-blown attack on the whole population of Dorze as the Qeerroo returned from the reception. The result was a universal massacring: killing the men and children with machetes, a ruthless raping of the women in front of their husbands and children, targeting specifically Dorze (and some Gurage) people living around Addis Ababa, on the 16 and 17 September 2018. Independent media sources called the killing a case of ethnic cleansing. In the Burayu area alone, the media has reported that 23 people have been killed, more than 500 have been injured and over 15000 people have been displaced. Other sources citing data from the police have confirmed that more 60 people have been killed.

Basket

A basket is a container that is traditionally constructed from stiff fibers, and can be made from a range of materials, including wood splints, runners, and cane. While most baskets are made from plant materials, other materials such as horsehair, baleen, or metal wire can be used. Baskets are generally woven by hand. Some baskets are fitted with a lid, while others are left open on top.
Baskets serve utilitarian as well as aesthetic purposes. Some baskets are ceremonial, that is religious, in nature. While baskets are usually used for harvesting, storage and transport, specialized baskets are used as sieves for a variety of purposes, including cooking, processing seeds or grains, tossing gambling pieces, rattles, fans, fish traps, and laundry.
Prior to the invention of woven baskets, people used tree bark to make simple containers. These containers could be used to transport gathered food and other items, but crumbled after only a few uses. Weaving strips of bark or other plant material to support the bark containers would be the next step, followed by entirely woven baskets. The last innovation appears to be baskets so tightly woven that they could hold water.
Depending on soil conditions, baskets may or may not be preserved in the archaeological record. Sites in the Middle East show that weaving techniques were used to make mats, and possibly also baskets, circa 8000 BCE. Twined baskets date back to 7000 in Oasisamerica. Baskets made with interwoven techniques were common at 3000 BCE.
Baskets were originally designed as multi-purpose vessels to carry and store materials and to keep stray items about the home. The plant life available in a region affects the choice of material, which in turn influences the weaving technique. Rattan and other members of the Arecaceae or palm tree family, the thin grasses of temperate regions, and broad-leaved tropical bromeliads each require a different method of twisting and braiding to be made into a basket. The practice of basket making has evolved into an art. Artistic freedom allows basket makers a wide choice of colors, materials, sizes, patterns, and details.
The carrying of a basket on the head, particularly by rural women, has long been practiced. Representations of this in Ancient Greek art are called Canephorae.
The phrase "to hell in a handbasket" means to deteriorate rapidly. The origin of this use is unclear. "Basket" is sometimes used as an adjective for a person who is born out of wedlock. This occurs more commonly in British English. "Basket" also refers to a bulge in a man's crotch. The word “basket” is frequently used in the colloquial “don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” In this sense, the basket is a metaphor for a chance at success.
Basket makers use a wide range of materials, including:
Cotton production in Ethiopia

Cotton is grown throughout Ethiopia at elevations above 1000 meters and below 1400 meters. Because most of the lowlands lack adequate rainfall, cotton cultivation depends largely on irrigation.
Cotton production has long been underway in Ethiopia. Before the revolution, large-scale commercial cotton plantations were developed in the Awash Valley and the Humera areas. The Tendaho Cotton Plantation in the lower Awash Valley was one of Ethiopia's largest cotton plantations. Rain-fed cotton also grew in Humera, Bilate, and Arba Minch.
In 1867 it was reported that there were plans to construct a 362-kilometre (225-mile) road from the Ethiopian cotton fields to the Red Sea to trade with Egypt and Turkey. Since the revolution, most commercial cotton has been grown on irrigated state farms, mostly in the Awash Valley area. Production jumped from 43,500 tons in 1974/75 to 74,900 tons in 1984/85. Similarly, the area of cultivation increased from 22,600 hectares in 1974/75 to 33,900 hectares in 1984/85.
Given its excellent growing conditions, abundance of raw materials and availability of land, Ethiopia has the potential to become a major global cotton producer but the cotton industry in Ethiopia as of 2011 is far behind that of the coffee industry and cereal production. There are however, significant obstacles to the development of the industry in Ethiopia due to a distinct lack of administrative bodies to monitor and certify agricultural practices in the country and to process cotton in factories on a wide-scale commercial level. However, the development of the textile industry is a priority of the Ethiopian government in their economic growth strategy and in 2006 implemented an important privatization initiative to attract foreign and private enterprises to develop the sector. Despite its lack of governance, the Ethiopian cotton industry is self-sufficient and as of 2002 provides some 50,000 tons annually to the textile industry of Ethiopia.
Workin' Overtime

Workin' Overtime is the eighteenth studio album by American singer Diana Ross, released on June 6, 1989, by Motown Records. Her first Motown album with new material since To Love Again (1981) after a short stint with RCA Records, Ross reunited with frequent collaborator Nile Rodgers, chief producer of her most successful album to date Diana (1980), to make this album which was an attempt to gear her to a much younger audience bringing in new jack swing productions and house music.
Upon its release, Workin' Overtime received negative reviews from music critics and failed commercially despite the title track reaching number three on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The album reached the top thirty in Sweden and the United Kingdom and peaked at number 116 on the US Billboard 200, earning the distinction of becoming the lowest-charting studio album of Ross' entire solo career. Additional singles "This House" and "Bottom Line" were issued, as well as a Shep Pettibone remix of "Paradise", but all failed to revive the album's sales. The album was supported by a concert tour, the Workin' Overtime World Tour.
Following the release of her album Red Hot Rhythm & Blues (1987), Ross gave birth to her son Ross and became pregnant with Evan, which caused her to go on a hiatus from work. "I stayed off work for about a year... I was having my babies, and during that time I spent a lot of time watching BET on television, the kids doing the hip-hop and so on... and, you know, I’m a risk taker," Ross said.
Workin' Overtime marked Ross' first Motown album with new material since To Love Again (1981), after Ross left the label for a then record breaking $20 million deal with RCA. Upon Diana's return to the label, Motown founder Berry Gordy, Jr. had sold the label to MCA Records and had positioned Jheryl Busby to the head of Motown. Ross was at first reluctant to return to her old label but Gordy promised her a lot in her return: Not only would Ross return to Motown as a recording act, but she would be the label's part-owner.
AllMusic editor Ron Wynn wrote that "this album was the first product of that new contract, and the results weren't very encouraging. There were no moderate or even small hits, and the album quickly dropped off both the R&B and pop charts within a couple of weeks of its release. Ross sounded completely lost, and the production, arrangements, and compositions sounded weak and thin next to the dominant New Jack and hip-hop works."
All songs produced by Nile Rodgers.
Credits adapted from the album's liner notes.
What She's Doing Now

"What She's Doing Now" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Garth Brooks. It was released in December 1991 as the third single from his album Ropin' the Wind. It spent four weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. It was co-written by Pat Alger.
The song is a ballad about a man who wonders what his former lover is currently doing and what her whereabouts are ("last I heard she had moved to Boulder"). While the singer has no idea what she is doing now, he proclaims "what she's doing now is tearing [him] apart".
Brooks provided the following background information on the song in the CD booklet liner notes from The Hits:
While Garth Brooks penned the song, he was not the first person to release it. On the 1990 release Ain't Gonna Worry, Crystal Gayle recorded the song as "What He's Doing Now"; her version was not released as a single.

El Obispado

El Museo Regional de Nuevo León, conocido también como El Obispado o Museo del Obispado, originalmente llamado Palacio de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, es un edificio virreinal del siglo XVIII ubicado en Monterrey, Nuevo León. Construido entre 1787 y 1788 debido a la iniciativa de Rafael José Verger, segundo obispo de la diócesis de Linares.​
Está ubicado en la punta de la Loma de la Chepe Vera, llamada así porque a sus alrededores se encontraban las tierras de José Vera. Esta loma es conocida actualmente como el Cerro del Obispado y el palacio también es conocido como el Palacio del Obispado.
El edificio ha servido también como fortaleza militar y paseo público. A partir del 20 de septiembre de 1956, es sede del Museo Regional de Nuevo León.
Durante el reinado de Carlos III y mediante una bula expedida por el Papa Pío VI en el año de 1777, quedó erigida la Diócesis de Linares, con capital en la población del mismo nombre.​
Por recomendación del Rey, el Papa nombra Obispo de la diócesis a Fray Antonio de Jesús Sacedón, quien recibe su cargo en el año de 1779 mediante un apoderado, que toma posesión del Obispado con todos los ritos. Fray Antonio de Jesús Sacedón muere antes de llegar a Linares y el Papa nombra a Fray Rafael José Verger como su sucesor.
Apenas recibiendo su nombramiento, Fray Rafael José Verger solicita al monarca trasladar la capital del Obispado a Monterrey, única población digna de ella en ese momento histórico.
El inmueble fue construido al final del Virreinato a solicitud del fraile franciscano Rafael José Verger, segundo Obispo de la Diócesis de Linares, quien impulsó el levantamiento de una casa de reposo y oración en terrenos que le fueron concedidos por el Ayuntamiento de la ciudad de Monterrey en 1787.
Este edificio, conocido comúnmente como el Obispado, tiene un gran valor histórico y arquitectónico. La primera restauración se realizó en 1946 y diez años después, en 1956, fue inaugurado como museo. Hacia 1998 se repusieron los corredores y las arcadas de la fachada principal y se decoró el interior de la cúpula del oratorio.
Después de la muerte de Fray Rafael José Verger y a partir de la Independencia, el Obispado se utilizó como fortaleza militar, teniendo un papel destacado en la defensa de la ciudad durante la Invasión Americana (1846), la Intervención Francesa (1864), la Revuelta de la Noria (1871) y la Revolución Mexicana (1913 y 1914).
El edificio, sin embargo, sufrió algunas modificaciones y pasó por épocas de completa ruina y abandono, siendo también utilizado como lazareto durante las epidemias de 1898 y 1903, y como cabaret en 1920.
El Obispado destaca por sus grandes dimensiones, así como por la solidez y altura de sus muros. La talla de su fachada principal en estilo barroco y su estípite (columna o pilastra copiramidal invertida) hacen resaltar la grandiosidad de la cúpula que posiblemente fue terminada entre 1853 y 1857.
El edificio está construido en piedra sillar, un material característico de la región, y es una de las pocas muestras de la arquitectura virreinal que aún se conservan en el noreste de México.

Gamalier Ramiro Tamez Cavazos (General Terán, Nuevo León; 18 de enero de 1889 - Monterrey, Nuevo León; 3 de marzo de 1976) fue un médico y político mexicano que ocupó la gubernatura interina del estado de Nuevo León, misma de la que tuvo que ausentarse en varias ocasiones para atender asuntos relacionados con su profesión.
Nació bajo el nombre de Gamalier Ramiro Tamez Cavazos (según el acta 52 del Registro Civil), en General Terán, Nuevo León, el 18 de enero de 1889, siendo hijo de Porfirio Tamez Flores y Modesta Cavazos de la Garza. Estudió la primaria en su ciudad natal y en el colegio Porfirio Díaz de Monterrey. La preparatoria la hizo en el Colegio Civil y obtuvo el título de médico en la Escuela Nacional de Medicina en agosto de 1917. Sin haber concluido aún su carrera, Tamez ya atendía a enfermos y heridos de las fuerzas villistas.
Inició sus actividades políticas en 1918, cuando fue designado alcalde de General Terán. Pese a su quehacer en la administración pública, Tamez nunca abandonó su profesión, misma que ejerció durante 18 años en su pueblo natal, en San Benito, Texas, y en Monterrey.
Siendo diputado en el Congreso Local, el 4 de abril de 1922 Ramiro Tamez fue nombrado gobernador constitucional interino, en sustitución de Juan M. García.
El 29 de noviembre de 1922, Ramiro Tamez solicitó licencia por un mes y fue sustituido por Leocadio M. González; sin haberse cumplido el mes, el 16 de diciembre Tamez regresó al cargo. El 13 de marzo del siguiente año, y durante once días, lo reemplazó el licenciado Pedro Guajardo. Tres días después de haber vuelto al gobierno, Tamez se ausentó nuevamente en dos ocasiones y dejó el mando en manos de Eusebio de la Cueva. El 14 de agosto de 1923 retomó el puesto de primer mandatario de la entidad y permaneció en él hasta el 4 de octubre, fecha en que fue nombrado en su lugar don Alfredo Pérez.
Durante toda su trayectoria, la labor del doctor Ramiro Tamez en el gobierno fue rica en obras y actividades: instaló sistemas sanitarios; llevó a cabo campañas de vacunación contra el paludismo; amplió el Hospital González; expidió y reglamentó leyes laborales; fomentó la agricultura; realizó obras de urbanización, e impulsó la educación y la cultura.
En 1923 Tamez fue desterrado de la entidad, por lo que tuvo que ir a San Benito, Texas, a ejercer su profesión. Volvió a Monterrey hasta 1935.

Monterrey (España)

Monterrey​ (en gallego y oficialmente Monterrei)​ es una localidad y municipio español situado en la provincia de Orense, comunidad autónoma de Galicia. Ocupa 119 kilómetros cuadrados en plena comarca de Verín.
Integrado en la comarca de Verín, se sitúa a 68 kilómetros de la capital provincial. El término municipal está atravesado por la autovía de las Rías Bajas A-52 entre los pK 163 y 172, además de por la carretera nacional N-525.
El relieve del municipio cuenta con dos zonas diferenciadas, el valle y la montaña. Las elevaciones de Meda (1094 metros) al norte, y la Sierra de Laroco al sur, en la frontera con Portugal, señalan los dos hitos montañosos más importantes del municipio. Son varios también los cursos de agua que formando parte de la cuenca del Duero, atraviesan el término de Monterrey para desembocar en el Támega, siendo el río Búbal y su afluente el río Albarellos los más importante de ellos.​ La altitud oscila entre los 1094 metros (Pico de Meda) y los 380 metros a orillas del río Búbal. El pueblo se alza a 523 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
En el ordenamiento de las Cortes de Zamora de 1301, celebradas durante el reinado de Fernando IV de Castilla, consta que los procuradores solicitaron al rey que la villa de Monterrey, a la que se refieren en dicho documento como la llave del reino de Galicia, no fuera entregada a ninguna persona, a fin de que no quedara reducida o mermada la jurisdicción de realengo, y el rey se comprometió a hacerlo así.​
La evolución histórica de la población se puede estructurar en dos fases bien marcadas: la primera, caracterizada por la evolución positiva, llega hasta los años 40 del siglo pasado, en los que se consigue el máximo desarrollo demográfico. La segunda, en términos negativos, va desde mediados del siglo XX hasta nuestros días. La emigración, en tres frentes principales (América, Europa y las zonas más industrializadas de España) influyó negativamente.
Podemos apreciar que en medio siglo el municipio perdió prácticamente un 50% de su población. La pérdida más acusada fue en los años 60, cuando la mayor parte de la emigración fue hacia América, y en los años 80, en los que hubo una merma del 26% de la población, con principal destino a las zonas más industrializadas del resto de España.
La ciudad de Monterrey, Nuevo León fue nombrada así en honor del conde de Monterrey Gaspar de Zúñiga Acevedo y Velasco.
Cuenta con una población de 2397 habitantes (INE 2024).
El municipio está formado por diecisiete entidades de población distribuidas en once parroquias:​​​
Monterrey (San Carlos)

Monterrey es el nombre del décimo segundo distrito del cantón de San Carlos, que a su vez pertenece a la provincia de Alajuela en Costa Rica.​
Monterrey fue creado el 16 de abril de 1979 por medio de Decreto Ejecutivo 10003-G. Segregado de Venado.​
Está ubicado en la región septentrional del país y limita con Pocosol al norte, La Fortuna y Tilarán al sur, La Fortuna y Cutris al este y Venado al oeste.
Su cabecera, el pueblo de Santo Domingo, está ubicada a 50.6 km (1 hora 2 minutos) al NO de Ciudad Quesada y 142 km (2 horas 47 minutos) al NO de San José la capital de la nación.
Monterrey cuenta con un área de 220,59 km²​ y una altitud media de 280 m s. n. m.​ Es el quinto distrito del cantón por superficie.
Se encuentra situado a una elevación de entre 100 a 600 metros sobre el nivel del mar.​
Para el año 2022, Monterrey cuenta con una población estimada de 3860 habitantes,​ y para el último censo efectuado, en 2011, Monterrey contaba con una población de 3455 habitantes.​
Monterrey tiene diecisiete centros de población:
El distrito se caracteriza por tener un clima fresco, montañas y pastizales siempre verdes que junto con la riqueza y abundancia de agua, permite el desarrollo de la ganadería de carne y leche, así como la siembra de raíces y tubérculos.
Al distrito lo atraviesan las siguientes rutas nacionales de carretera:
Palacio de Monterrey

El palacio de Monterrey es un edificio de la ciudad española de Salamanca, uno de los máximos exponentes del estilo artístico plateresco. Edificado por el III conde de Monterrey, actualmente es propiedad de la Casa de Alba, que es titular de dicho condado. Fue un edificio muy admirado e imitado en el siglo XIX, dando lugar al llamado estilo Monterrey o neoplateresco, un historicismo que retomaba la estética del plateresco.​
Fue declarado Monumento Histórico Nacional, equivalente al actual término BIC con categoría de Monumento, el 6 de mayo de 1929.​ Desde mayo de 2018 el edificio está abierto a las visitas turísticas [1].
El palacio de Monterrey, situado en el centro de la ciudad de Salamanca, lo hizo edificar —en estilo del renacimiento italiano— don Alonso de Zúñiga y Acevedo Fonseca, III conde de Monterrey. Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón y fray Martín de Santiago esbozaron los planos del palacio, y Pedro de Ibarra y Pedro de Miguel y Aguirre empezaron la construcción el 18 de enero de 1539. Desde entonces se convertiría en una de las obras más representativas del renacimiento español, si bien es un edificio inacabado pues su proyecto completo era mucho mayor. Su imagen (con torres y decoración suntuosa) simboliza la gran nobleza del Siglo de Oro español.
El proyecto preveía un edificio de planta cuadrangular de tres pisos y un patio central, con torres en cada esquina y en el centro de cada ala. Al cabo no se construyó más que una de las alas, la del sur. En las esquinas, leones y animales oníricos, diseñados por Fray Martín de Santiago, sostienen escudos con las armas de los Zúñiga, Acevedo, Ulloa, Sotomayor y Fonseca. La galería del último cuerpo tiene arcos renacentistas. Los balcones y ventanas están adornados con decoración plateresca.
El palacio de Monterrey ha influido notablemente en múltiples edificios españoles de los siglos XIX y XX, como el palacio de la Diputación de Palencia, obra de Jerónimo Arroyo de 1916, el Museo Arqueológico de Sevilla de Aníbal González de 1919 o la Academia de Caballería de Valladolid de Adolfo Pierrad de 1924.
Tras un año de restauración, en mayo de 2018 el palacio se ha abierto a las visitas turísticas como espacio musealizado, gracias al convenio suscrito por el Ayuntamiento de Salamanca y la Fundación Casa de Alba.​
Siendo una de las propiedades principales de la Casa de Alba, este edificio alberga valiosas obras de arte, así como un variado muestrario de muebles, tapices, porcelanas...
En él se identificaron dos cuadros de paisaje como originales del pintor valenciano José de Ribera; están fechados en 1639 y son los únicos ejemplos de paisaje independiente de toda su producción.
También se hallan aquí el cuadro Jasón con el dragón, de Salvatore Rosa, un retrato del Gran Duque de Alba pintado por Alonso Sánchez Coello, otro de Santa Teresa de Ávila por Juan Carreño de Miranda, y una obra atribuida a Annibale Carracci. Hay además ejemplos de los siglos XIX y XX, como una escultura de Mariano Benlliure y óleos de Manuel Benedito.
De todas formas, el grueso de las colecciones ducales se custodia en el palacio de Liria de Madrid, la principal residencia de los Alba.

Monterrey platyfish

The Monterrey platyfish (Xiphophorus couchianus) is a species of freshwater fish in family Poecilidae. A live-bearer, it was native to a very small section of the San Juan River system (itself part of the Rio Grande basin) in the vicinity of the city of Monterrey, Mexico. The specific name refers to the American soldier and naturalist Darius N. Couch (1822–1897) who collected the type on a self financed expedition to Mexico.
The Monterrey platyfish is a dull-colored fish, appearing not unlike a female guppy. Another form, sometimes referred to as X. aff. couchianus, was discovered in Apodaca, central Monterrey, in 1983. It has large black blotching, unlike the typical, unspotted form from the Huasteca Canyon. Whether the Apodaca form represents a separate species is presently unclear.
Sexual dimorphism is moderate, the male Monterrey platyfish growing to a maximum overall length of 4 cm (1.6 in) and the female 6 cm (2.4 in).
IUCN lists the Monterrey platyfish as "extinct in the wild". Although once found more widely in the region of Monterrey, populations have been lost to urban sprawl, with water habitats either drying up (due to land reclamation and water extraction) or being heavily polluted. Introduced species is another threat. "Safety populations" are maintained in captivity by the Centro de Resguardo para Peces en Peligro de Extinción at Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Mexico (maintaining both the typical form and X. aff. couchianus), Xiphophorus Genetic Stock Center at Texas State University, United States (maintaining typical form), via the American Livebearer Association that mostly includes private aquarists in the United States (maintaining typical form), and by XNP conservation project members, which include public aquariums, universities and private aquarists in several European countries and the United States (maintaining typical form). The species has proven harder to maintain in captivity than most Xiphophorus species.
The Monterrey platyfish shares the title as northernmost naturally distributed Xiphophorus with the closely related northern platyfish (X. gordoni) and marbled swordtail (X. meyeri), which are two species that also are restricted to northeastern Mexico and seriously threatened.
Estadio BBVA

Estadio BBVA, formerly known as the Estadio BBVA Bancomer, is an association football stadium in Guadalupe, Greater Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. Nicknamed "El Gigante de Acero" in Spanish (lit. 'The Steel Giant'), the stadium replaced the Estadio Tecnológico as the home of C.F. Monterrey, ending 63 years of residency at that stadium.
The stadium was inaugurated on 2 August 2015 with the eighth edition of the Eusébio Cup, where Monterrey defeated Benfica 3–0. The stadium is expected to host matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The stadium was developed by C.F. Monterrey owner FEMSA. It was designed by multinational architecture firm Populous along with the Mexican firm VFO. Federico Velasco along with Populous, were the lead designers for the project. Construction began in August 2011 and was completed in July 2015.
The stadium was opened in 2015 with a capacity of 51,000 people, making it the fourth largest in Mexico. Built at a cost of US$200 million, it was the most expensive stadium in Mexico at the time of its construction. The owners soon added more seats, expanding the capacity to 53,500 in 2016. It has a grass surface, suites, a club-themed restaurant, a club lounge, and high-end interior and exterior design. The inclination of the grandstand is 34 degrees, and the distance between the field and seats is the minimum allowed by FIFA, providing closeness to the action.
Estadio BBVA received a silver certification from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for its sustainable design. It was the first football stadium in North America to earn the certification.
More than a third of the total land area are green areas. This proportion exceeds the current regulations. These green areas are used to filter rainwater, which will contribute to the recharge of aquifers. Parking lots are evenly distributed around the stadium, including wooded areas to achieve integration with the Ecological Park. These areas are divided into zones, which are integrated into the landscape and topography. The northern boundary to the Rio La Silla is a wooded trail area that connects the stadium with the New Ecological Park. This ecological park and parking are also green areas, with a landscape design that blends with the surrounding environment, with only trees and plants of the region to facilitate preservation and adaptation to the environment.
The stadium is notable for its view of Cerro de la Silla, a prominent mountain with a highest peak of 1,820 m (5,970 ft). The mountain can be seen from the seats located in the northwestern section of the stadium, providing scenic views for fans.
The 2022 CONCACAF W Championship held in Mexico, the stadium hosted 8 matches:
Estadio BBVA will be one of three Mexican venues to host multiple matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The stadium will host four matches: three group stage matches and one Round of 32 match.
Cerro de la Silla

The Cerro de la Silla ("Saddle Hill") is a mountain and natural monument, It is part of the foothills system of the Sierra Madre Oriental. It is found covering territorial parts of the municipalities of Guadalupe (31.62%), Monterrey (13.23%) and Juárez (55.15%), in the state of Nuevo León, and constitutes an icon of the city of Monterrey and a symbol for the people of Monterrey.
It covers an area of 60.5 square kilometres (23 mi). The mountain has four peaks: Pico Antena, Pico Norte, Pico Sur and Pico la Virgen; Pico Norte (North Peak) is the highest at 1,820 m (5,970 ft) while Pico la Virgen (Virgin's Peak) is the lowest at 1,750 m (5,740 ft).
Set aside as a natural monument by the Mexican government in 1991, the mountain, or hill, as mountains are often referred to in Mexico, is a popular recreational area and is often climbed by hikers who take a 5.3 km (3.3 mi) trail to reach the top. The ascent is considered to be fairly difficult, taking approximately 3 hours to complete. A panoramic view of the city of Monterrey can be seen from the top.
In the second half of the 20th century, an aerial tramway (Teleférico en Monterrey) was built on the north side of the mountain to give a fastest access to the iconic mountain for the population. The day of its inauguration on June 2, 1961, was also the day of its closure, as a tragic accident took the lives of five people, including the engineer Jesús Fernández, its designer. Only the upper station remains of the tramway. Several plans have been announced to rebuild another tramway with no results.
Some other known mountains or elevations of the zone are: Cerro de las Mitras, the Sierra Madre Oriental with the Cerro de Chipinque —the M-shaped figure visible from various parts of the city—, the Cerro del Topo Chico, Cerro del Obispado, Cerro de la Loma Larga and La Huasteca.
List of tallest buildings in Monterrey

Carl Nebel

Carl Nebel (18 March 1805 – 4 June 1855) was a German engineer, architect and draughtsman, best known for his detailed paintings and lithographic prints made from them of the Mexican landscape and people during the battles of the Mexican–American War.
Nebel was born in Altona, today a part of Hamburg. After studies in Hamburg and Paris, he travelled to America, where he was a resident of Mexico from 1829 until 1834. In 1836, he published in Paris his renowned illustrated work on that country—Voyage pittoresque et archéologique dans la partie la plus intéressante du Méxique, with 50 lithographs made from his paintings, twenty of which were hand-colored, and an introduction by Alexander von Humboldt.
In 1851, he published together with journalist George Wilkins Kendall some of his paintings of the events of the Mexican–American War in the book The War between the United States and Mexico Illustrated. Kendall had been a war correspondent and saw the opportunity to publish a major account of the war. The two came to an agreement to collaborate as the war was ending, Kendall having apparently been familiar with Nebel's earlier work. While Kendall went to Paris to cover events in 1848, Nebel remained in Mexico for an unknown length of time to complete the initial sketches for the book's illustrations. Nebel had returned to Hamburg, and Kendall chafed at the slowness of completion of the project, but it was completed in 1850 and published in 1851. The book contained twelve color lithographs done by Adolphe Jean-Baptiste Bayot and was printed by Joseph-Rose Lemercier, a leading lithographer. In both cases, Nebel's illustrations were enhanced by his making use of the newest printing developments in France, especially techniques for adding color to the prints. The prints from the Mexican war series were distributed in several different formats, as a single print, as a set of 12, a portfolio with text, and in the bound, folio-sized book.
The most famous in the Mexican war series is his depiction of General Winfield Scott's 1847 entry to the main square Zócalo of Mexico City, with the U.S. flag flying over the National Palace. It is almost identical to his illustration done a decade and a half before. The war scene Nebel presents is closer to the reality on the ground, where the conquering U.S. forces were not welcomed by the resident population, particularly by a street person (lépero) about to hurl a rock at the invaders. Although Kendall's text and Nebel's illustrations attempt to be true to the accounts of battle, there is no evidence that either one was at the Battle of Buena Vista, located in a remote part of northern Mexico. Kendall was a correspondent and saw the Battle of Molino del Rey, but Nebel was not. The battle is often not depicted in contemporary illustrations, but Nebel did two different views of it.
