San Luis Potosí / San Luis Potosí
San Luis Potosi can rightly be called synonymous with beautiful architecture. One of the oldest colonial cities in Mexico, it was once an important silver mining center and even the seat of government. This is a city that immediately captivates with its squares, gardens and churches. I want to return to the historical center again and again. San Luis Pfromosí has more historical plazas than any other colonial city in Mexico. Plaza de Armas — you may visit the city square. Consider San Francisco Park with its University Walk.
If you have time, you can take a walk through Tangamanga Park, which, after Chapultepec, is one of the largest in Mexico. And if you are lucky enough to attend such an event as the projection of lights on the façade of the Templo del Carmen or Fiesta de Luz, the vivid impressions from the city will last for a long time!

Hometown of Independence hero Miguel Allende, it is located in the state of Guanajuato. When this state was the center of silver mining in Mexico, this is where the wealth and beauty of the local cities came from.

Don't miss the parish of San Miguel Arcangel (Church of St. Michael the Archangel) — from the highlight of the city, which is a must-see, and in addition to this, the Municipal Palace or the Temple of Oratory.
Walking around the center, you will notice that the dominant colors are yellow and ocher. This is one of the cities in Mexico where you can’t help but feel that it was “created for tourists,” the coloring of some of the buildings is so beautiful. It is one of those cities where a significant portion of the resident population is made up of non-residents, especially Americans.
