MEXICO CITY - An ice rink has been set up in the Zocalo, Mexico City's largest plaza, in an effort to make it easier for the capital's residents to get a taste of winter sports.

The sustainable rink, covering 3,800 sq. meters (40,849 sq. feet), is made of artificial ice and welcomes people visiting the downtown plaza, which is surrounded by historic buildings, such as the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace, the seat of Mexico's government.

This is not the first time that Mexico City residents have been able to enjoy ice skating on the Zocalo during Christmas season, but this is the largest rink ever set up on the plaza, officials said.

... Admission to the ice rink, which will operate until Jan. 12, is free.
