How To Conquer Central Mexico in Your Next Vacation[Travel-and-Leisure]
I've noticed lately the tourists that make their way to central Mexico (Guanajuato) tend to be either the loosey-goosey backpackers or the tourist elite who tend to have a lot of experience in coming to strange and new places. The backpackers (and there's nothing wrong with loosey-goosey, I would like to add) seem to be a highly adaptable group that can, more or less, stay almost anywhere, under most conditions, and more easily go with the flow, no matter what the flow throws their way. The tourist elite group has the money to stay.l.....Read More

Day Of The Dead In Guanajuato, Mexico
By Cindi Bower
When I moved to Mexico from the USA, something I was looking forward to in my new life was participating in the frequent festivals that take place almost on a daily basis. One festival I wasn't too sure about taking part in, though, was Day of the Dead. To me, it seemed odd and even morbid to celebrate death. However, I knew Mexico had a wealth of Day of the Dead traditions. I decided to keep an open mind until I had the opportunity to witness the holiday myself.
Far from being a somber or morbid event, Day of the Dead is a celebration that includes...READ MORE...
