Here I am at the Mirador looking over the city. It's a wonderfully colourful city, with the historic centre in a kind of valley and the houses rising on all sides.
There is a tiny street called The Alleyway Of The Kiss which has 2 balconies only 27" apart and bears the Mexican version of the star-crossed lovers legend.
This gorgeous spot on the left is called Peace Square. There is also a whole network of underground streets which are really interesting, the buses go from daylight to total blackness and when I arrived the bus let me off in the centre - of a tunnel. The driver told me just to go up the stairs, and there I was in the middle of town.
The local buses are very cute aren't they?
I visited the Hidalgo Market, said to be designed by Gustav Eiffel of the Tower fame.
I think you could have found everything you could possibly need in here!
This picture below is the Jardin, the main square where the locals gather. Like in San Miguel it is bordered by lovely clipped trees giving shade and a great sense of style.
I really liked Guanujuato, it seems like a very liveable city. I didn't hear a word of English while I was there, it's much more of the real Mexico than where I live! But I still love Playa best!
