Guanajuato is a colorful old city built in a narrow mountain valley. Its houses are painted in bright reds, yellows, blues, and greens all up the hillsides.
It is loved for its winding streets, tunnels under the city, and cheerful colors. Long ago it was a rich silver-mining town, and it is still full of history and music.
The homes are painted every color you can imagine, stacked up the hills. From a high lookout the whole city looks like a box of crayons.
Guanajuato has roads that run in tunnels beneath the buildings. Cars drive through the old stone passages that were once for water.
In the evenings singers in old costumes lead fun walking tours with music. They share funny stories and legends about the city's narrow alleys.
