Festival Cervantino
Guanajuato has to be one of the prettiest towns you will ever see. Set in a valley in the middle of some mountains, it's full of narrow winding streets that go up and down hills and has a network of tunnels running under it. Apart from being a university ...
Guanajuato
Today was a great day in Guanajuato. It was a fascinating, picturesque, crooked, cobblestoned city. The streets are irregular in shape, creating a jumble of walls, balconies and rooftops meeting at anything but right angles- the churches are the ...
Lucky to be born in the 20th Century
