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.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).

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.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.

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.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.
Plaza de Armas (Main Town Square) - A garden is surrounded by nice portals and important buildings. In the middle of the plaza there is an old and beautiful gazebo that dates back to 1906.Presidencia Municipal (City Hall) - The building was constructed in the 18th century and it has some awe-inspiring murals painted by Octavio Ocampo, a well-known artist from Celaya depicting the Mexican history.Catedral de Celaya (Cathedral) - Located next to the Temple of San Francisco, it was restored in the 19th century for the famous architect Tresguerras in a beautiful neoclassical style.

The interior features 18 astonishing stained glass windows.Templo y Exconvento de San Agustín - The construction dates back to 1609. It has a Plateresque style with Moorish reminiscences. In 1863, the property was expropriated and turned into a prison until 1962, when it was opened as a school for the fine arts. Convento y templo de San Francisco - This building dates back to 1573 and it has been renovated several times, maybe the most important was the one made by Francisco Tresguerras in 1715. It is one of the major landmarks of its type in the country. The interior features Baroque design, while the exterior is Plateresque.Templo del Carmen - This shrine is a real jewel that surprises the visitor by its beauty and the cleverness of its proportions. Considered as the masterpiece of the distinguished architect Francisco Tresguerras. The interior has some original paintings made by Tresguerras and a German organ built in 1800. Museo de Celaya Historia Regional (Regional History Museum) - The museum features eight rooms with the history of Celaya. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00 hrs..Panteón y Museo de Momias de Celaya (Celaya Cementery and Mummy Museum) - It was opened in the 19th century, today it is a place in symbols and mysticism. Next to the cemetery is the Mummy Museum.Torre hidráulica o Bola de agua (Water Ball) - This is one of the most important landmarks in Celaya. Since 1908 is supplying water to the downtown area.
