    A jumbled and charming colonial city, rich in history

    One of Mexico’s prettiest and crookedly-charming cities, Guanajuato in the country’s northern colonial heartland might look as if it was hurriedly put together but is fascinating for its mining past, political history and a wonderful place to lose yourself in its winding alleys and scrambled streets.

    Founded in 1559, Guanajuato was to become one of the most important mining cities in the colonial world, with the La Valenciana mine alone producing one third of the world’s silver at one time.

    A colourful, and now UNESCO-protected, labyrinth of colonial mansions, churches, small plazas, tunnels and crooked stairways, funnelled into this narrow highland valley, makes this is a very picturesque place to stay and soak up Mexico’s past.

    Close to San Miguel de Allende, it is possible to either stay there or here to explore this rich colonial heartland of Mexico.
