But beyond the mineral wealth required to develop this activity, conditions in Mexico have made it one of the main destinations in the world for mining investment, surpassing countries that are richer in mineral resources.

—What is your favorite place in Mexico to relax?<br />
Cancún, Quintana Roo, which is the city where I was<br />
born and raised.<br />
—Which is your favorite Mexican beach?<br />
The beaches on the Mayan Riviera are my favorite,<br />
especially the ones on the Sian Ka’an Reserve near<br />
Punta Boca Paila in Tulum, also in the state of<br />
Quintana Roo.<br />
—What is your favorite Mexican dish?<br />
There are so many, it’s hard to choose just one. But<br />
escamoles (ant eggs), chiles en nogada –especially the<br />
ones my grandmother cooks–, stuffed chili peppers and<br />
chilaquiles, are at the top of my list.<br />
—Is there somewhere in Mexico every tourist<br />
should visit?<br />
It depends on what they’re looking for, because there’s so<br />
much to see and do in Mexico. I’d recommend the beaches<br />
of the Mayan Riviera, Oaxaca and Puerto Vallarta.<br />
—Which Mexican director do you most admire?<br />
Alejandro González Iñárritu, Guillermo Arriaga,<br />
Alfonso Cuarón, Carlos Carrera, Roberto Schneider and<br />
Gerardo Naranjo.<br />

Elena Rojo, Salma Hayek, Sara García and Isela Vega,<br />
among many others.<br />

to play?<br />
Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz.<br />
—Name a Mexican city or state that is on your<br />
“must visit” list…<br />
The northern part of Mexico. I have never been to La<br />
Paz and Los Cabos, in Baja California Sur. I would like<br />
to go there and do some whale-watching.<br />
—What do you miss most about Mexico when<br />
you’re abroad?<br />
After my friends and family, the food.<br />
—What do you love most about Mexico?<br />
Our roots, our nature: we always give the best of<br />
ourselves. n
