Visiting some of the colonial cities of Mexico is a trip to the memories and the past of a great country, when discovering its churches, architecture, its art and trying new gastronomic delights we enrich the soul even more, don’t you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, traveling to a colonial city on vacation is a good investment<\/strong> because normally there are not as crowded as the beaches, everything is cheaper, and we gain pleasant experiences from all the heritage we know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are going to pack your bags this summer and you will choose your camera and walking shoes instead of your life jacket and sandals, I recommend you visit one of these 5 treasured colonial cities of one the most beloved countries, called Mexico:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Morelia, Michoacan<\/h2>\n\n\n

“Morelia de mis amores”<\/strong>\u00a0with its large number of historical monuments is a\u00a0World Heritage\u00a0City, beautiful wherever you look at it, its architecture is mainly Baroque and French-style and something that you cannot miss is its imposing\u00a0Aqueduct<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

With 253 arches, the Baroque-style Aqueduct is the architectural icon of Morelia, (which you can find on the 50 pesos bills), and it is also the one that remains in the best condition and the one with the most original structure of those found in Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Interior of the Sanctuary of Guadalupe (Temple of San Diego)<\/strong> maintains a magnificent decoration on its walls and domes, with floral shapes and tones that shine like red, gold and pink that will leave you amazed with such beauty. The best? The image of the Virgin of Guadalupe in the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuente de las Tarascas<\/strong> is a bronze sculpture perfect for taking souvenir photos as it is an emblematic and reference place, as well as having the beauty of its gardens and the Aqueduct in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Callej\u00f3n del Romance<\/strong> is a corner decorated in pink stone with flowers called camelinas, it contagious tranquility when you walk or sit down to enjoy the afternoon, in addition to that, you can listen to the stories that the Morelians tell and read the verses of the poem “Romance of my city” of Don Lucas Ortiz that are found on its walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit its museums such as the Museo Casa Natal de Morelos<\/strong>, the Museo de la M\u00e1scara or the Museo Regional Michoacano where you will find objects of historical and artistic importance of the Michoac\u00e1n entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Puebla de los \u00c1ngeles”<\/strong> is one of the oldest cities in Mexico, religious and civil buildings of various architectural styles catch the eye and make it a Cultural Heritage. <\/strong> In its streets, you will perceive the panorama as if it were an artistic painting contemplating domes and alleys with stories to tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the presence of the Popocat\u00e9petl and Iztacc\u00edhuatl volcanoes, Puebla is also a landscape with a host of emotions that show its identity every day, which you can see in the shapes of its “Talavera”, the traditional mole poblano, its sweet potatoes and the legend of La China Poblana.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On your walk through the Z\u00f3calo and see the tiles of its houses and its churches, it is undoubtedly to be photographed,\u00a0but visiting the\u00a0Palafoxiana library<\/strong>\u00a0is unforgettable, this is a jewel of Puebla, the first public library on the continent and for preserving the original furniture and for its number of books it is a\u00a0“Memory of the World”<\/strong>\u00a0recognized by UNESCO.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Like the “Piedras Encimadas”, the well-preserved pyramids of the\u00a0Archaeological Zone of Cantona<\/strong>\u00a0are something different from what we have seen, although a bit far from the city, its charm comes not only from the landscapes it offers but also from not knowing science certain the culture that built them, this site will leave you shocked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An incredible view from its viewpoint and much to discover is what\u00a0Los Fuertes de Loreto<\/strong>\u00a0offers. When you visit it, you will learn a lot about history in its museums, since the Battle of Puebla was fought here, as well as you will feel delighted with the nature of its forests.<\/p>\n\n\n

The second-highest city in Mexico allows you to take a tour through Mexican history, with streets adorned with historical monuments and architecture in the New Spanish Baroque, neoclassical and neo-Gothic styles. Zacatecas is a postcard and a silver city<\/strong> that if you visit it you will explore the bottom of its old mines and the top of its hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoying art and its history is also something that this\u00a0Cultural Heritage city<\/strong>\u00a0offers us since it has the most important museum in Latin America and you will be filled with a lot of reasons to love its culture on its walks, its illuminated nights and full of legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state of Oaxaca is very healthy<\/strong>, I perceive it both for its welcoming climate, friendly people and what there is to see that simply captivates and also for its colonial capital, colorful and with history to learn about and traditions to appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perfectly outlined\u00a0Historic Center of Oaxaca de Ju\u00e1rez\u00a0that looks like a chess table is why this destination was declared a\u00a0World Heritage Site<\/strong>, with mainly religious buildings and New Spanish Baroque style architecture that when you walk through its streets you cannot stop admiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
