\"High
\nDuring the winter holidays I took a vacation to Mexico City. \u00a0Having been being born and raised there, I opted to explore a city I’ve never visited. \u00a0Deviating from my original itinerary, I detoured to the city of Guanajuato. Located northwest Mexico City, Guanajuato is a friendly place and relatively unknown treasure amongst visiting tourists. \u00a0This has enabled the old silver mining town to retain its unique character and charming local traditions. \u00a0During my trip I stayed at quaint in-town\u00a0apartment that offered a terrific value for my money, participated in town events, and savored authentic local foods and colorful candy.
\n\"Colorful<\/p>\n

The\u00a0architecture\u00a0of Guanajuato is Spanish colonial, the color is all it’s own. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The first night I took\u00a0part take in a “callejoneada”, or evening street party, which departs nightly from the San Diego church on the Jard\u00edn de la Uni\u00f3n. \u00a0Leading the callejoneada, was a group of student musicians referred to as “estudiantinas”. \u00a0We\u00a0toured the historic center of Guanajuato including the Alondiga de Granadita and the Kissing Alley- a super narrow alley, while dancing to live music, listening to local legends, and sipping tequila from a very unique looking cup.
\n\"A
\nThe great architecture of this gorgeous city was built with the enormous wealth generated from silver mining during the 17th and 18th centuries. At that time, Guanajuato was the source for one third of the world\u2019s silver supply.
\n\"The<\/p>\n

El Nopal is an old mine from the mid 18th<\/sup> century.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was an amazing\u00a0adventure walking down cobbled streets and alleyways, discovering new and unexpected things around every corner. \u00a0My exploration expanded to a neighboring town- San Miguel de Allende. Whether on public buildings or private houses, newly painted or beautifully aged, the doors and windows of San Miguel de Allende are made to be noticed. Their inspiring styles include decorative ironwork, arched panels and painted or tiled frames on contrasting walls.
\n\"View<\/p>\n

San Miguel de Allende is an incredibly picturesque and perfectly preserved town has also been named as a Heritage of Humanity Site by UNESCO<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Underground<\/p>\n

Cars have to go through the old and long mining tunnels to get into the old city.<\/em><\/p>\n

The underground road network in the city and surrounding regions is well developed, and traveling through it is fast and efficient.
\nThe city and surrounding towns are clean and safe; it\u2019s truly a great region to consider if you desire as genuine\u00a0cultural experience in Mexico.
\nColorfully yours,
\nDiana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
