World Heritage Cities
Guanajuato
5 REASONS
TO VISIT GUANAJUATO
• Discover legendary places in the streets and
squares.
• Walk in the footsteps of Independence.
• Celebrate theater, dance, music and art.
• Watch the city appear and disappear from the
underground tunnels.
• Admire the monumental palaces and mines.
Once one of the greatest mining cities in Mexico,
Guanajuato has a rich history and it is a UNESCO
World Heritage site. The setting of the city is very
beautiful: it stands in a narrow gorge amid wild and
striking scenery. The whimsical trace of its streets,
its peaceful squares, gardens, “estudiantinas”
(strolling student minstrels), and the beauty of its
houses and buildings give to Guanajuato a magic
ambiance and an evocative and romantic touch.
Guanajuato, is the cradle of Independence, and
invite us to stroll along the romantic cobblestone
streets full of legends and history. The pied pipers
call themselves estudiantinas. They wander the
city, playing traditional music, singing old favorites,
telling the city’s stories and giving this magic
atmosphere of this unique place.
BEST SOUVENIR BUYS
• Jewellery and baroque silverwork
• The famous Charamusca,
caramel mummies with peanuts
or coconuts
• Pottery

Theater, dance, and musical performances abound
in the city, as well as museums and galleries. The
first three weeks in October Guanajuato celebrates
the “Festival Internacional Cervantino”, the most
important festival in Latin America. It features
high-level performers and artists from 36 countries,
they present different expressions of art like opera,
drama, and dancing. Mimes and jugglers are a
common sight, and strolling minstrels guide visitors
along the city’s winding, narrow streets, their joyful
music carrying above high colonial walls.
Temperatures in the winter drop to about 7ºC
(45ºF) with mild temperatures in the summer
rising to 26ºC (80ºF).

San Miguel

5 REASONS
TO VISIT SAN MIGUEL ALLENDE
• Stroll through the cobbled streets of the old
town.
• Buy some ornaments for your house in one of
the fine stores.
• Enjoy the magical sanctuary of Atotonilco.
• Say “I do”.
• Relax with a spa treatment.
The city was founded in 1542, this is one of the
most beautiful colonial cities in Mexico. San
Miguel has meant the careful conservation of the
town’s charming architecture and cobblestone
streets, as well as its culture and traditions, and
that is why it has become a UNESCO World
Heritage site. Besides it offers the warm and
friendliness of the people, the charming small
cafes, bars, haute-cuisine restaurants and unique
nightspots blend into the beautiful streets of this
cosmopolitan town.
San Miguel boasts more “fiestas” than any
other Mexican town. There are religious,
cultural or sports events; some of them include
international performances like the International
Jazz Festival and the Chamber Music Festival;
and some others are traditional celebrations
like the “Sanmiguelada” (Running of the Bulls),
the National Brass and Wool Fair and the Holy
Week, with a solemn procession of the Holy
Burial, among others.
BEST SOUVENIR BUYS
• Lamps, mirrors, the traditional stars
and various pieces of brass embossing
• Antique and vintage collectible, as
well as interesting pieces of the local
art galleries
• Pottery, Vases and Dinnerware
12
The weather is mainly temperate and dry and
its average temperature oscillates between 16°C
(60.8°F) and 22°C (71.6°F), with cold winters.
San Miguel has become a haven for many
foreigners, specially Americans and Canadians
because of the excellent weather and the
distinctively, remarkably comfortable, Mexican
ambiance.

ATOTONILCO
H
istorical place where the priest Miguel Hidalgo having given the “grito”
(shout) for independence in Dolores and
rushing with a group of followers toward
battle, took up the banner of the Virgin of
Guadalupe as the insurgency’s unifying coat
or arms. The church is located just eight kilometers from San Miguel de Allende. The
sanctuary built between 1740 and 1748, is
an exceptional work of art in a baroque style
and it has been named UNESCO World
Heritage Site. The walls and ceilings of the
interior are nearly entirely covered in mural
work, sculpture, inscriptions and oil paintings
in a style called Mexican folk Baroque, most of
the mural work was done by Miguel Antonio
Martínez de Pocasangre, ver a period of thirty years. This mural work has led the complex
to be called the Sistine Chapel of Mexico. On
the south side there are six annexes of note,
but the most important are: the Chapel of the
Holy Burial (1763), Our Lady of the Rosary
and its chamber (1766) and the Calvary Chapel (1774-1778). Hours: Monday to Sunday

Mineral
de Pozos
The mysterious town of Pozos is a relic of
a once booming mining town. In the late
1800’s, at its economic height, there were
approximatly 300 mines around this town,
but the most important was Santa Brígida
that produced gold, silver, copper and zinc.
Magic and mysticism come to life in this desolate place where it seems time has stood
still allowing the visitor to wonder back in
time. It is considered National Historic Patrimony and it has been named Magic Town.
The semi-demolished buildings built in the
19th century and early 20th century gives
this beautiful town a ghostly atmosphere.
BEST SOUVENIR BUYS
• Handmade dolls wearing traditional costumes
• Pre-Hispanic musical instruments
• Antiques and artwork from the galleries
23
You will have the opportunity to visit an old
mine and go down at more than 200 meters
below the surface. The town, however, has
experienced a modest revival as a number of
old adobe properties were restored or built
anew. Today the town still offers travelers a
combination of ancient stories, traditions
and legends of its inhabitants. Around the
Juarez Garden, there are some art galleries
and crafts stores. The 18th century Parish of
San Pedro is in front of the shaded garden.
You can practice biking or horseback riding
and explore the mines, haciendas and Cerro
Pelon; or you can go hiking, rappel or just enjoy the contact with nature and learn about
the flora and fauna of the region.
MAP
INDEX
Salvatierra
It is located in the south of the State of
Guanajuato and is known as the “place of
beautiful vegetation” because it is surrounded
by green valleys watered by the streams
of the Lerma River. Its history dates back
to pre-Hispanic era when Chipícuaro and
Chichimeca cultures settled in this region.
This is one of Mexico’s best examples of a
colonial town manifested in its civil and
religious architecture. Here you can enjoy
a walk between houses with arcades and
courtyards, amid the scent of fresh lemon
trees.
The city radiates out from its large main
square where you can enjoy the homemade
ice cream as well as frozen
strawberries with whipped
cream. Facing the square
is the baroque church
dedicated to the town’s
patron saint, Our Lady of
the Light (Nuestra Señora
de la Luz), inside you will
find a diminutive icon,
made in the 16th century
of a mixture of corn paste
and orchid juice.
Another important constructions are:
Templo de San Francisco, built in 1740. Next
to this church is the Father Perez museum.
The Temple and Convent of the Capuchin
Nuns built in 1770, an impressive Baroque
complex noted for its neo-classical altars and
its main cloister. The Temple and Convent
of Our Lady of Carmen (Nuestra Señora del
Carmen), built in 1646, was the first church in
the town; it is an elegant construction with an
exquisite Churrigueresque ornamentation.
BEST SOUVENIR BUYS
• Rompope (a sweet, egg-based liqueur), wafers,
gorditas de nata (“clotted cream biscuits”) from
the Convent of the Capuchin Nuns.
• Embroidered tablecloth and napkin sets
• Faggoting and paper mache figurines
24
Nearby there are about 300 haciendas
conserving historical and cultural heritage,
like San José del Carmen, Santo Tomás de
Guatzindeo and San Nicolás de los Agustinos.
There is an old emblematic bridge built by
the Carmelites in 1649, Puente Batanes, and
an Eco Park called El Sabinal a nice place for
recreation with playgrounds.

INDEX
Yuriria
Located in the south part of the state, this
Magical Town has a magnificent former
convent, considered at one time “The most
spectacular building ever imagined”. Near the
Yuririapúndaro Lagoon is the 16th-Century
Ex-Covento of San Agustin with a massive
size and dazzling structure, that reminds a
medieval construction. It houses a museum
with an important exhibit of religious objects.
The lagoon was the first hydraulic project of
the vice royal era, being constructed for the
benefit of the region’s agriculture.
The construction of the monastery and the
large artificial
lake took nine
years.
The
building is very
well preserved.
The
fortified
monastery
is
accessed
t h r o u g h
an
elegant
Renaissance
facade
that
highlights
indigenous features and opens onto a spacious
interior with cloisters, gardens and cells. In
the lower part of the former monastery there
is a four-roomed museum with pre-Hispanic
and colonial objects, as well as religious
paintings and sculptures from the 17th and
18th centuries. Open Tuesday to Sunday
from 10:00 to 17:45 hrs.
BEST SOUVENIR BUYS
• Matting (petates) and blowers
• Cross stitch, embroidery, erochet and needlework, crafts
• Fishing nets
• Natural fiber baskets
25
You can enjoy an unbeatable view of the
convent from the lake and take a boat to visit
the small islands. It is a wonderful place for
bird watchers and photographers since many
species of birds, migratory as well as local,
visit the lake during winter season.
When you visit Yuriria you have to try the
traditional “caldo de michi” a casserole of
vegetables such as carrots, squash and onions
with fresh catfish.

INDEX
Jalpa de
Cánovas
The origins of the town can be traced back to
1542 when these lands were granted to Don
Juan Villasenor to found a hacienda devoted
to livestock and farming. By the end of the
19th century, under the regime of Porfirio
Díaz, the Hacienda de Jalpa was one of the
most prosperous, had 70 thousand hectares,
a dam, canal networks and a modern flour
mill. Today you can visit the remains of the
estate complex surrounded by walnut trees;
walk along the
beautiful gardens,
the grain mill,
old rooms filled
with history, and
the old aqueduct.
The
buildings
surrounding the
plaza
(central
square)
date
from the colonial
period and you can
enjoy a calm and
quiet atmosphere
and a delicious
homemade ice cream. Across the plaza is the
lovely Church of the Lord of Mercy (Señor
de la Misericordia) built in 1908 by the Louis
Long; the neo-gothic church has beautiful
stained-glass windows and attractive murals.
Nearby attractions include the 18th century
Santa Eduviges Dam and the Presa Nueva, as
well as several recreational centers.
BEST SOUVENIR BUYS

•
Buy the typical cajeta and wafers.
Take a photo of the famous Water ball.
Admire Tresguerras’ work.

Celaya is known as the Golden Gate of the
Bajio (Low Land), and it is also famous for
its high quality production of milk based
sweets. Celaya has this tradition of producing
wonderful sweets since the colonial period.
In modern sweets stores you can learn about
the production process and taste some of
these candies like: cajeta,
made from boiled goat
milk, brown sugar and
cinnamon, chewy candy,
lollipops, among other
sweets.
You can walk through
the fortified walls of old
monasteries or dare to
spend a spooky night at the
cemetery that houses the
Museum of Mummies.
BEST SOUVENIR BUYS
• Cajeta--a sweet made of burned milk and sugar- in
a variety of flavors. Quemada (burnt), envinada
(wine-flavored), vanil a, walnut, strawberry, pine
nut, and other original flavors.
• Different sweets like como jamoncil os (creamed
candy), wafers, cocadas (coconut candies) and
marinas (chewy balls covered nuts)

This important business center, was the
birthplace of one of the most important
practitioners of neoclassical architecture,
Francisco Eduardo Tresguerras. An exquisite
example of his work is the Church of Carmen.
This city has important buildings that are
worth seeing, such as the Church of San
Francisco built in the 17th century and the
Augustinian cloister, also constructed in the
same century.
