Learn Spanish in Guanajuato
For a step back in time, consider spending some
time in the remarkable city of Guanajuato. Located beside the
Sierra de Guanajuato Mountains, this historic city was home to
the famous Valenciana silver mine that produced almost two
thirds of the world's silver in the 1800’s. Currently the city
is a wonderful tourist spot and also attracts people that wish
to learn Spanish in Guanajuato. The rich heritage and features
of the city and the surrounding area make this a perfect place
for a vacation or holiday, no matter what you enjoy.
If you're interested in coming to learn Spanish
in Guanajuato, you'll soon learn that the city itself must be
visited by walking. There are only two major streets for
vehicles in the city, one entering and one leaving. Guanajuato
is actually entered by an underground tunnel that follows the
original riverbed of the Guanajuato River. A dam that was built
in the early 1960’s has now contained the river.
The streets of the city are very narrow with
many small alleys bisecting the streets. While you're here to
learn Spanish in Guanajuato, you'll almost certainly visit one
of the most famous of the alleys, or callejones - the
Callejon del Beso, or Alley of the Kiss. This alley is so
narrow that lovers could lean across the alley on their
balconies and kiss each other. Now a popular tourist spot,
wandering musical groups often tour the alleys and sing
traditional Mexican songs in the evenings. The houses in
Guanajuato are a curious mix of European and Mexican, with
pastel colors, ornate iron balconies and painted exteriors.
Flowers and small gardens are found in most yards and flower
vendors are on most street corners.
