Last look at Guanajuato: colourful walls, an old centro, a big market, and an ex-hacienda





The painted walls of the buildings in Guanajuato cover all the colours of the spectrum but there's more to the city than that.




It also features a very typical old market building in the centre of town.  This woman is obviously there on a shopping trip.




And this woman is one of the many vendors.



The array of fruits and vegetables on display is amazing. This woman looks like a queen among her produce.


But my favourite market photo is the one of these two sisters who were sitting at a counter inside the market having a snack.





The central part of town is really lovely with an elaborate opera house complete with statuary,
and a gorgeous old church, plus some lovely winding streets to wander behind it all.





On our last day there we took a taxi to edge of town to visit an old hacienda that is now open to visitors and events.  It was a really peaceful place to wander around in late winter sunshine. 














And here's your cute dog photo to round things out.  We are planning another trip to Mexico in December. Heading off to Oaxaca with family over Christmas and then visiting a couple more cities and towns that we haven't yet explored. Mexico is a continual source of fascination.
