We will go to the center of Querétaro. This city is considered as one of the “cradles” of the Independence of Mexico and much of the credit is granted to Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez. She was the wife of the mayor of the city, then called “corregidor”, at the beginning of the 19th century. There you will find beautiful and interesting colonial buildings, squares and corners full of history.

Stop At: Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel, Calle Principal S/N Zona Centro, San Miguel de Allende 37725 Mexico
In the heart of San Miguel we will visit the Parish of San Miguel Arcángel that has become the symbol of the place. Anyone who passes by, marvel at this majestic temple. Although its construction dates from the end of the seventeenth century, Zeferino Gutiérrez completely changed its façade inspired by cathedrals of Europe between 1880 and 1890. It could appear to break with the colonial style of the square, but it is imposed on anyone who passes.
