Fodor's Review:

The Cultural Center of Spain can be found in the heart of the downtown area. It was built in an area that Hernán Cortés himself assigned to his butler, Diego de Soto, though the land changed hands many times and the current building was constructed in the 18th century, well after the years of Cortés. Temporary exhibits housed in the seven exposition rooms often highlight young artists and showcase current artistic trends. While the expositions are worth a look, there are also conferences and workshops offered on a nearly daily basis for those who are interested in art and culture. In a fun twist, on many nights you can catch live jazz at the bar, which is favored by local twentysomethings who flock here to listen. Every weekend, there are also activities for children. Check out the center's Web site for listings.
