The municipality of Monterrey had a population of about 1,100,000 inhabitants according to the 2005 Census. The Greater Monterrey metropolitan area (composed by surrounding counties or cities of Apodaca, García, General Escobedo, Guadalupe, Juárez, San Nicolás de los Garza, San Pedro Garza García, Santa Catarina, Santiago, Cadereyta, Ciénega de Flores, Pesquería and Zuazua) boasts more than 3.5 million inhabitants, what makes of it the third most populous in Mexico, the second largest in area and the most important financial and manufacturing hub after the capital. Monterrey's inhabitants call themselves "regios" (abbreviated form of regiomontanos) Cerro de la Silla Monterrey is located at 25°40′N 100°18′W, and 530 meters above the sea level (downtown). The Santa Catarina River bisects the city. Although this river is dry for most of the year, it flows after occasional heavy rains. Monterrey, also known as "La Sultana del Norte" ("The Sultan of the North") and "La Ciudad de las Montañas" ("City of the Mountains"), has the highest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in Latin America after San Juan, Puerto Rico. It lies at the foothill of the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range, which seems to come to an abrupt start south of the city, i.e. the famous "Sierra de Chipinque" in San Pedro Garza García. The remarkable mountains and sierras around Monterrey are limestone (calcareous), sedimentary, of biological origin; they are essentially the remains of ancient (Cretaceous and Jurassic) reefs and marine shells; fossils of these are very abundant in the local rocks. Volcanic rocks and activity do not exist in any significant amounts in these mountain ranges. A small hill, the Cerro del Topo and its smaller Topo Chico are located in the suburbs of San Nicolás de los Garza and Escobedo. West of the city rises the Cerro de las Mitras, so called because the profile of several bishops with their mitres (mitra) can be seen along its edge. East of the city, the iconic Cerro de la Silla ("Saddle Hill") dominates the view. South of the Santa Catarina river, the Loma Larga separates Monterrey from the suburb of San Pedro Garza García. North of the river, the summit of the Cerro del Obispado is the site of the historic Bishop's Palace (Obispado), where one of the most important battles in the Mexican-American War was fought. Weather Monterrey's weather, though reasonably pleasant in spring and autumn, is extremely hot in summer (maximum daily temperatures well above 30°C) and can get really chilly in winter (minimum daily temperatures close to 0°C or below zero). Rainfall is scarce, but more prominent between May and September. Humidity in winter can be high, although without showers. Snowfall is a rare event. The weather affects daily life in a number of ways. Air-conditioning is essential, though fortunately widespread in private and public buildings. Strolling streets becomes a rarity among regios in summer and has conditioned a car-driven way to get around the city, which is quite different from what is seen in the more hospitable, walkable cities of Central Mexico. Unlike other Mexican homes across the country, regios keep two completely separate sets of garments at home, each of which will never be worn for a 6 month period or so. Weather also determines the relatively scarcity of tall trees within the city. Flowers are rarely seen being sold on the streets. Drinks are always served as cold as possible. During the last several years, and probably as a result of global warming, seasonal patterns have been changing, making Monterrey a more humid and less dry city, shortening the cold winters and lenghtening the summers. Government, Transportation, and Public Safety See also articles in the category Transportation in Monterrey Monterrey and its metropolitan area have democratic governments; the political environment is one of civility with power alternating between political parties. Currently, the municipal president of the municipality of Monterrey is Edgar Olaíz; he will remain in office until 2006 and will be replaced by Adalberto Madero who will remain in office until 2009. The state of Nuevo León, of which Monterrey is the capital, is governed by José Natividad González Parás who belongs to the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI); he will remain in office until 2009. Monterrey is well connected with the USA border, the sea and inland Mexico through several modern roads, including the Carretera Nacional (also known as the Panamerican Highway) that runs from Nuevo Laredo to México City and south, and the Autopista Interoceánica connecting Matamoros with the port of Mazatlán on the Pacific; it is also crossed by highways 40, 45, 57. The divided highway Monterrey-Saltillo-Matehuala-Mexico City is the main land corridor to interior Mexico. Monterrey is also connected by at least three important railroad freight lines: Nuevo Laredo-Mexico City, Monterrey-Tampico, and Monterrey-Pacific (Mazatlán). Passenger rail service to the city no longer exists. There are two international airports: General Mariano Escobedo International Airport (served by major international carriers) and Del Norte International Airport. Monterrey is linked through frequent direct flights to many Mexican cities and to key American hubs (Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas-Ft Worth, Los Angeles,, Houston, Miami, New York JFK). There is also a direct flight to Madrid, Spain. There is no public transportation from the Mariano Escobedo Airport to the city. However, taxi service hired at this airport is one of the best among Latin American cities, and charge about $20 US for a one-way ride to the city. From this airport, there is a bus shuttle to nearby Saltillo[1]. Inter-city bus services run daily into the interior, as well as north to the US border and points beyond. Public transportation in the city includes a modern but limited rapid transit system (with only two lines)[2],[3]; many city bus lines that vary very widely in quality and service, and thousands of economical and efficient taxi cabs. Traffic jams, although less impressive than those seen in other Latin American big cities, are becoming more frequent, primarily at rush hours. Monterrey is the only large metropolitan area of the country that boasts crime rates below the national average. The Nuevo Leon state's capital and 10 of its surrounding municipalities (Apodaca, García, San Pedro Garza García, General Escobedo, Guadalupe, Juárez, Salinas Victoria, San Nicolas de los Garza, Santa Catarina and Santiago) reported 8,034 crimes for every 100,000 people in 2004citation needed], whereas the national average of criminal incidence was 11,246 for every 100,000 people. Industry and business La Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma. See also Companies based in Monterrey Monterrey is a major industrial center among cities in Mexico, second only to the nation's capital. As a result of its strong steel industry, it is often called "the Pittsburgh of Mexico". The city has prominent positions in sectors such as steel, cement, glass, auto parts, and beer. In 1999 Fortune magazine voted Monterrey as the best city in Latin America in which to do business. The magazine attributes its economic wealth in part to its proximity with the United States-Mexican border and mentions Monterrey as a significant city with economic links to the United States, recognized around the world for its entrepreneurial character. Monterrey is considered one of the best cities for business in the world.. [4] Monterrey's industrialization process was accelerated in the late 19th century by the Compañia Fundidora de Fierro y Acero Monterrey. Today, it is home of powerful conglomerates, such as Cemex (world's third largest cement company), Vitro (glass), Maseca (food), Banorte (financial services). The FEMSA corporation owns a large brewery, the Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma (see also the baseball museum named Salon de la Fama). This brewery is possibly the largest in Mexico; it produces the brands Sol, Tecate, Indio, Dos Equis & Carta Blanca, among others. In the year 2000, the economic resources of the city accounted for more than 31.3 billion USD. By the end of 2005, there were more than 13,000 manufacturing companies, 55,000 retail stores, and more than 52,000 service firms.[5]. Monterrey accounts for about 95% of the State of Nuevo Leon's GDP, and 18% of Mexico's manufactured exports come from this city. [6] The metals sector, dominated by iron and steel, accounted for 6 percent of manufacturing GNP in 1994. [7] The steel industry is centered in Monterrey, where the country's first steel mills opened in 1903. Steel plants in Monterrey, privatized in 1986, accounted for about half of Mexico's total steel output in the early 1990s. [7] Monterrey was also voted city number 87 (scoring a 92), in terms of Quality of Living, by Mercer Human Resource Consulting on 2005, on their worldwide report. This makes Monterrey the Top city in Latin America in terms of Quality of Life (which includes safety, income levels, purchasing power, education opportunities and health services). [8] Landmarks See also articles in the category Landmarks of Monterrey La Macroplaza, one of the world's largest plazas, has become the cultural and administrative heart of the city and features remarkable monuments, green areas, and buildings including the Faro del Comercio. The Barrio Antiguo, the charming oldest sector of the city where bars, cafés, art galleries and restaurants can be found. On November of every year the Festival Cultural Barrio Antiguo takes place in the Barrio Antiguo with national and international artists and performers. Fundidora Park. El Río Santa Catarina: despite being called "río" (river) the Santa Catarina is pretty much dry, except for the times it rains. The river bed is now home to soccer and baseball fields, a running track and, on weekends, a market (which is more of a flea market); it is located under El Puente del Papa, which gives the market its name. Puente Atirantado Opened in 2003, the Puente Atirantado (oficially dubbed Puente de la Unidad) is a suspension bridge that crosses the Río Santa Catarina and joins San Pedro Garza García with Monterrey. Although impressive and elegant, its construction was highly controversial due to its cost, its design (which appears to have been cribbed from Santiago Calatrava), and the fact that the river it crosses is dry. The Government Palace Historical and Cultural Sites El Cerro del Obispado (Bishopric Hill) which includes a public, scenic lookout called Mirador del Obispado, a Monumental flag and the museum inside the Palacio del Obispado (the Bishopric Palace). El Palacio de Gobierno (Government Palace), a pink marble Neoclassical construction where the office of the governor is located. The Museum of Mexican History (Museo de Historia Mexicana) [9], with exhibits and collections dating from Pre-Columbian days through the early 90s.

A listing of these and smaller museums, in Spanish: [12] Sightseeing around Monterrey Grutas de Garcia - an extensive (2 km?) cave system located northwest of Monterrey in the Villa de Garcia. A scenic train-like vehicle lifts visitors to the caves' entrance hundreds of feet above, on the hill slope. The Cola de Caballo (Horse tail) waterfall, on the mountains near the towns of Santiago and El Cercado, about 35 km. (22 miles) south. On the way to the Cola de Caballo waterfall (Carretera Nacional going to Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas), in Santiago, the Presa Rodrigo Gomez or "La Boca" ("La Boca" Dam) [13] [14] lays nested between green hills. On this area, before La Boca Dam, at Los Cavazos (25 km from Monterrey) there are many small, family-owned restaurants which serve Mexican and local food, produce, flowers, and candies at low prices; there are also stands of Mexican and local handcrafts and hand-made wooden and metal furniture. This area is a mercado by the road; traffic is heavy on summer Sundays. The Carretera Nacional area south of Monterrey enjoys a relatively humid micro climate that allows the growth of lush, subtropical vegetation; this gives this area a garden-like atmosphere. Natural Areas The mountains that surround Monterrey offer a breathtaking landscape and harbor an almost endless number of canyons, trails and roads, crossing deserts and forests. These trails vary in their difficulty from super easy to those for the expert rockclimber only. The ones below are just some of the better-known, accessible ones. Parque Ecologico Chipinque (Chipinque) [15]. This a park within the larger "Parque Nacional Cumbres de Monterrey". Chipinque park provides protection to forested areas (oak and oak-pine mainly) that the Parque Nacional Cumbres de Monterrey protects only in theory.

History See also articles in the category History of Monterrey Panoramic view of San Pedro In the mid-1500s, the area was largely unexplored by the Spanish. It was known as Extremadura Valley. Several unsuccessful expeditions led by Alberto del Canto had tried to colonize the area. An expedition led by Luis Carvajal y de la Cueva established a settlement in the area called San Luis Rey de Francia, but was frustrated by the Inquisition and the persecution of the Sephardim among the colonists. A third expedition of twelve families led by Diego de Montemayor founded Ciudad Metropolitana de Nuestra Señora de Monterrey (Metropolitan City of Our Lady of Monterrey, now only Monterrey) on September 20, 1596, next to a spring called Ojos de Agua de Santa Lucia, where the Museum of Mexican History is now located. During the years of Spanish Rule, Monterrey was a place that connected trade between San Antonio (nowadays in Texas), Tampico, and Saltillo and the center of the country. Tampico's port brought many products from Europe, while Saltillo concentrated the Northern Territories trade with the capital, Mexico City. San Antonio was the key trade point with the northern foreign colonies (British and French). After the Mexican Independence War, Monterrey rose as a key economic center for the newly formed nation, especially due to its balanced ties between Europe (with its connections to Tampico), the United States (with its connections to San Antonio), and the capital (through Saltillo). However, the anarchy that followed the first 50 years of the new country allowed for two American Invasions, and a secession war. Monterrey became capital of the State of Nuevo León, which during its endeavor to become an independent country annexed the states of Coahuila and Tamaulipas. The Palacio del Obispado, constructed at the end of the 18th century. Most of the generals in the Mexican War against France were natives of the city, including Mariano Escobedo, Juan Zuazua and Jerónimo Treviño. During the last decade of the 19th Century, the city of Monterrey gained access to the railroads, which benefitted industry. It was during this period that José Eleuterio González, "Gonzalitos", founded the Colegio Civil, an early effort to create a university in Nuevo León, he also founded the Hospital Civil which is one of the best public hospitals in the northeast of Mexico nowadays, and also serves as medical school support to the Facultad de Medicina de la UANL, making it a teaching/community-serving facility in the present. Vicente Ferrara founded the Fundidora de Fierro y Acero de Monterrey along with other great entrepreneurs [18]. Eugenio Garza Sada founded, in 1943 the Monterrey Institute of Technology (Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, ITESM, or Tec). This educational institution has evolved into one of the leading business and engineering schools in Latin America. By the mid 20th century, in a country where state-owned companies sustained the economy, Monterrey was notorious as one of the most important economic districts in the land due to its strong private sector and fierce sense of independence. In the last decades of the 20th century, El Norte [19], a newspaper founded by Celedonio Junco de la Vega, became important due to its efforts to denounce government corruption, and due to its principles of independence in journalism. Recently, the newspaper has evolved into the national-level Grupo Reforma news group, including the original El Norte [2], Reforma in Mexico City, Mural in Guadalajara and Palabra in Saltillo. Other newspapers in Monterrey are Milenio [20],Metro,and El Porvenir[21]. In 1988, Hurricane Gilbert caused great damage to the city; the Santa Catarina River overflowed, causing about 100 deaths and severe economic damage. In 2002, the United Nations International Conference on Financing for Development was held in the city, with the participation of more than 50 heads of state and government, as well as other ministers and senior delegates from over 150 countries. The conference resulted in the adoption of the "Monterrey Consensus", which has become one relevant reference point for international development and cooperation. At the conference, the US and the EU announced new aid commitments, which added an extra $30 billion for development. This amounts to the largest increase for assistance at any international conference. Countries also reached agreements on debt relief, fighting corruption, policy coherence and increased participation of developing countries in international decision-making and norm-setting. The event attracted some additional media attention when Cuban President Fidel Castro left the meeting before U.S President George W. Bush arrived: Castro alleged the Mexican government asked him to leave to prevent an uncomfortable encounter between the two. In 2007, Monterrey will hold the Universal Forum of Cultures. The cost of holding this event is stirring controversy in the community, but also bringing a necessary upgrade of the current urban infrastructure. Food Cabrito (kid goat) is Monterrey's most popular traditional dish Typical Monterrey cuisine includes machacado con huevo, a dish prepared with dry beef, eggs, and salsa. Perhaps the most traditional dish from Monterrey is cabrito al pastor, kid goat cooked on embers based on the Jewish cuisine of the founders of the city. Other local dishes and customs that perhaps date back to the Crypto-Judaism of these founders are the "semita" (bread without leavening), the capirotada dessert (a mix of cooked bread, cheese, raisins, peanuts, and crystallized sugarcane juice), and the relative absence of pork dishes. Grilling meat on Sundays remains one of the most cherished traditions in Monterrey's families. Locally brewed beer and cola soft drinks are an almost mandatory part of the weekly ritual. Although not still comparable with the caleidoscopic gastronomy of Mexico City and some major Mexican beach resorts, several good restaurants offering Italian, Chinese, Brazilian and Argentinian food can be found throughout downtown Monterrey and San Pedro Garza Garcia. Education The CIAP building at the ITESM Campus Monterrey Monterrey is headquarters of one of the most prestigious private universities in Latin America: the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, or ITESM (English: Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Studies). As the centre of its own educational network, it boasts 33 campuses and agreements with other universities in America, Europe and Asia. Its reputation, specially for MBA and other administrative and technological programmes, is solidly established. The Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, or UANL (English: Autonomous University of Nuevo León), is among the most recognized public schools in Mexico; it has one of the top medical schools in the country. Several other private universities, like the University of Monterrey (UDEM), Universidad del Norte (UN), and the Universidad Regiomontana are also present in the city. There are several bilingual private schools in Monterrey, such as the ASFM (American School Foundation of Monterrey) and the AIM (American Institute of Monterrey) The Biblioteca Central by the Macroplaza, and Biblioteca Alfonsina, within the UANL University campus, are the main public libraries in the city. Though some efforts have been undertaken to increase reading as a habit among the "regios", bookshops are still very scarce. Monterrey might well be, among the major cities in the Spanish speaking world, the one with the lowest number of bookshops per 100,000 people. International Development Monterrey International City of Knowledge: The Monterrey, International City of Knowledge project seeks to create a better future for Nuevo Leon, a future where economic growth is the result of innovation, within the framework of an alliance between Society, Businesses, Academic Institutions and the Government; in a city with social and cultural infrastructures for the service of its citizens”.

The city hosted many official games during the 1986 FIFA World Cup. Baseball has a long history in the city, where it became the most popular sport during the early 20th century. Monterrey has been champion of the Little League World Tournament three times (1957, 1958 and 1997), and often hosts Major League games. In the Mexican League, the Sultanes de Monterrey are one important team every season, and in the year 2003, they unsuccessfully attempted to buy (and relocate to Monterrey) the Montreal Expos franchise of the Major League. Monterrey has two basketball teams. Fuerza Regia plays in the Mexican league and the Monterrey Poison plays in the American Basketball Association. The city also hosts the CART race in Fundidora Park since 2001 and hosted the A1 Grand Prix of Nations on February 2006. In 2004 Monterrey hosted the WKF Karate World Championships. Other popular sports include golf and college American football, with two local teams: the Autenticos Tigres (UANL) and the Borregos del ITESM that play in the National College League (ONEFA); their games attract thousands (mainly student crowds). People can also find fishing, camping, and extreme-sports outdoors near the city (bungee jumping at Cola de Caballo, rock-climbing, hiking, mountain bike). In particular there is international-level rock-climbing in places like la Huasteca [22], Potrero Chico and many other canyons.
