Guanajuato
From San Miguel we took a day trip to Guanajuato. Guanajuato is a really pretty city. It was also founded in the 1500’s and is where a lot of silver was mined when Spain ran the show. Some of the streets run through tunnels underground, and some of the streets aren’t streets at all, but are just stairs.
The streets of Guanajuato.
We took the funicular to the top for a view and walked down.
El Callejon del Beso. See: Atlas Obscura
They built a train station but never the rails, so this is now a market.
More churros. These were filled with liquid chocolate by squirting it down the center (it all ended up at the bottom, so you needed to tilt it a little while eating).
Lunch was at Tortas mi Lugar. Can’t believe how cheap this was, and still was good. We each had pork milanesa (breaded, fried, thin pork). It came on a large plate with rice, beans and a salad, and tortillas on the side. Each plate was 50 pesos, a little over $2.50. We were full for the day.
