WOW! A beautiful city - in a valley, built over the site of big silver and gold mines around 1800 - at that time the richest city in Mexico. The old mine tunnels beneath the town carry much of the traffic - leaving the city a pedestrian-friendly zone. It is a town of 150,00, while San Miguel is 80,000.

| Another Baroque facade |
 |
| Freddy took us to the fanciest restaurant in town - known for their beef - and on a busy plaza - we almost bought rug from a passing vendor. |
 |
| Freddy's recommendation for lunch - skirt steak with side of enchiladas |
 |
| Polpo in a spicy complex sauce - green avocado rolls |
Living Statues - there were a row of them
 |
| Alley view |
 |
| Water - the city doesn't have good ( or any?) water treatment system so many houses install their own filters, but that is costly - so buying water is an alternative |
 |
| Headcheese |
 |
| The dried chile and bean stand - yet their chile sauces are not that hot - rather, complex |
 |
| Guanajuato market |
 |
| We keep trying to buy one of these chickens - but our timing always off. They aren't done until 1:30 - which is right before the usual lunchtime of 2:00 |
 |
| A snack option |
 |
| Jugo Stand - I had papaya - our guide had the green one - nopales (cactus paddles) cucumber, and celery |
 |
| Gracing the door of a church.... |
