Guanajuato

Clinging to the edge of a narrow gorge, Guanajuato’s extravagant colonial buildings tell the story of the city’s silver and gold mining past, while colourful houses, restaurants and shops compete for space on the hillsides. Cobblestone streets, leafy parks and open plazas make this a city for idle wandering, soaking in the convivial atmosphere in an open-air cafe or bar.
