      Touring Guanajuato

      January 28, 2016 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Entering Guanajuato was a confusing affair - it's hard to make sense of the city even with a map, as there are circular roads winding up the hillsides, many narrow alleyways that end in stairs and even multiple tunnels throughout the city for foot and vehicle traffic. How do you map such a 3-dimensional city?! After struggling along the bumpy cobblestone roads and through a few tunnels, we were directed to one of the main squares, where we were able to find a cheap hotel. We showered and left the bikes to go exploring the city on foot. We started in the lively Hidalgo Market, then wandered through many colourful streets and alleys, losing track of our route, but somehow making it back to the hotel. We always enjoy seeing (and often tasting) what local delicacies are being sold on the streets and in shops, so we got a good kick out of seeing giant bags of bulk chips and cheesies for sale. After an Enchilada Minera dinner (miner's enchiladas, the local meal on offer, named for the long mining history in Guanajuato) we called it a day.Read more

      Above and Below

      January 29, 2016 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      We took a rest day in Guanajuato, and continued our wandering through the streets and squares of the historic city. It's amazing to see churches dating back as far as the 17th century and imagine how the city has grown into the colourful maze that it is today. The Saturday streets were filled with people out and about, and delicious food (as always!). We walked up to the Pipila Statue to get a good view of the city, then through a few tunnels, and finally made sure to walk through the famous Callejon de Besos (the kissing street).Read more

      Guanajuato

      October 29, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      So much to tell not enough enthusiasm. 🙂🙃

      I spent quite a long time in Guanajuato. Not only the famous days of the dead’s also the time before and after the grand spectacle were dedicated to discover this beautiful town.

      The town is located on 1500 meters above sea level. As it gets rather cold at night, during the day the sun let the quicksilver raising up to 25 degree Celsius. The tunnel system is what makes this place unique. The Guanajuato tunnels are a series of wide channels that extended under the city and help divert traffic away from the city centre.
      These tunnels were not primary constructed for traffic, but as a diversion for the Rio Guanajuato to prevent flooding to the early mining town.

      Días de los muertos are truly the most busiest days in México hence all touristic places are packed with people. I barely found an accommodation to stay when I arrived in this town. I was lucky though, I found a bed for one night in the very center just next to an Oxxo. I was proud of myself after I haggled the price down from 600 to 300 pesos.
      I spent most of the second day to find a new place and fortune was with me. I found an unofficial place for cheap money a bit outside the center. Even I wanted to spend the days in a very traditional village called Pátzcuaro I had a great time in Guanajuato with nice parades, beautiful tapetes on the street and crazy parties at night.

      Conociendo Guanajuato

      July 1, 2017 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Comenzamos el día muy temprano, desayunamos unos chilaquiles en un restaurante del centro y, siguiendo la recomendación del encargado del hotel, contratamos un tour para visitar lo más que pudiéramos de Guanajuato en ese par de días que pasaríamos ahí.

      El tour nos llevó a conocer el Museo de los Lamentos, el Museo de la Tortura (donde formamos parte de la exhibición), el Museo de las momias, El Pípila y la Mina de la Valenciana.

      Por la noche, caminamos por el centro y observamos muchas estudiantinas en la calle que invitaban a unirse a las muy famosas callejoneadas, experiencia que no podíamos perdernos; comenzamos a caminar en grupo por los bonitos e iluminados callejones del centro, cantando (y tomando) bajo una noche lluviosa.

      CDMX - Guanajuato

      June 30, 2017 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Después de una jornada de trabajo, emprendimos nuestro camino hacia Guanajuato….no sabíamos lo que nos esperaba….Después de unas cuantas horas en carretera, comenzó a anochecer y no solo eso….también comenzó a caer….una gran tormenta, el paisaje era: nosotros en el carro, en la carretera oscura y solitaria, y a la distancia… unos tremendos relámpagos.

      Después de esa travesía y 4 horas…logramos llegar a nuestro alojamiento, un pequeño pero bonito hotel en el centro de Guanajuato, una noche lluviosa pero que no impedía que la gente siguiera afuera hasta altas horas de la madrugada! Salimos al oxxo y jamás nos habíamos sentido tan seguros a las 12:00 am en la calle.      Read more
