I traveled to Central
Mexico in 2015 to see old Colonial Mexico as well as attend a wedding
for a friend in San Miguel de Allende. During the trip, I was
able to see three major cities including San Miguel de Allende, Dolores
Hidalgo, and Guanajuato. The Mexican Independence Movement began
in this state also. The architecture is very similiar to what one
would find in Spain, and the churches were really nice. Most of
the roads were cobblestone also. This is my favorite part of
Mexico!
