As my time here comes to a close, last week I took a final trip with my Danish friend Camilla. Guanajuato is a beautiful town located only two hours away, and we spent one night there. The town is unique because it is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. What makes the place unique is that it was a city first build on the mining boom without any city planning at all. So, there are absolutely no straight streets, and many small mysterious and charming alleyways, curving streets, and hidden side streets that lead to nowhere. The city is also known for it’s arts! Every fall, the city hosts the Cervantino Festival—a couple weekends of lots of arts and theatre and drama. Very nice. They also have a high student population, so we ran into a lot of hip young coffee shops and stores. Here are the photos 🙂
