Guanajuato, Mexico

Guanajuato is one of the most unusual places in Mexico. Packed into an old river valley,  this maze-like Spanish colonial city is full of surprises for the wandering photographer. Jumbles of pastel-colored houses cascade down Guanajuato's steep hillsides, and its narrow streets lead to hidden plazas with splashing fountains, outdoor cafes. and open-air markets. Guanajuato is also a city of fine museums and opulent churches that hark back to when it was one of the richest silver-mining centers in the world.
