Cuernavaca

Town in Mexico and administrative capital of the state of Morelos, situated in the north of the state, 65 km/40 mi south of Mexico City; population (1995) 281,800. Lying at an altitude of 1,520 m/4,987 ft, it has a temperate climate and is one of Mexico's most popular tourist resorts. The town's industries include brewing, sugar refining, and flour milling. The main manufactured products are cotton, wool, synthetic fibres, and cement.

Cuernavaca has daily sunshine even during the rainy season between May and September, and is referred to as ‘The City of Eternal Spring’ because of the temperate climate and rich vegetation.

Cuernavaca is built on the site of the ancient town of Cuahnahuac. The town was captured by the Spanish in 1521. Historic buildings include a cathedral and a palace that Cortés built (now government offices), with murals by Diego Rivera.
