| Located in the state of Guanajuato
this city has preserved its colonial architecture, traditions and
warm provincial atmosphere while developing modern amenities.
ZOCALO
The town plaza's central garden -- El Jardin -- is
a beautiful sculpted garden that becomes quite noisy at sunset when
the grackles arrive to roost in the sculpted trees.
BOTANICAL GARDEN
Perhaps the best way to see the cacti is at the El
Charco del Ingenio Botanical Garden. This private 250-acre park
boasts more than 9,000 cacti and succulents (more than 1,500 species)
collected throughout Mexico. The gardens are about 4 kilometers
(2.5 miles) from downtown.
MIGRATION
The city draws warmth-seeking citizens of Canada and
the United States throughout the year, though notably in the winter
months.
