But I had a headache with all this traveling issue, so let’s better move from the airport to the City.

Relax and take it easy.

Well Telmex offers free prodigy internet roaming via tmoblie in USA and some other countries, so when in an airport, or hot-spot, look for that.
PS…yes this post should better be in Spanish.

In the morning I bought a bottle of Tequila Don Julio Añejo in a High-End  Supermarket in Mexico, which I’m taking to a friend during this trip. I paid a total of $32.50USD, which includes $2.50USD of Value Added Tax and $10.00USD of Special Liquor Tax.

So the Tequila without taxes was just $20.00USD.

Well, I’m in the airport right now, the same bottle is priced $49.00USD !

OK, they charge no Tax and Duty but they just double the price.

Mexico http://www.mexlinux.com/guanajuato-gto-mexico/ http://www.mexlinux.com/guanajuato-gto-mexico/#comments Mon, 07 Sep 2009 13:32:11 +0000 mexlinux http://www.mexlinux.com/?p=260 Guanajuato Tunnels

Guanajuato Tunnels

Last weekend I went to Guanajuato.
It’s a small mining city in the state of the same name, it’s been recognized as World Heritage Site by the UNESCO.

The city has a complete network of underground roads. And the main one was originally a river.

On top, there is a very rich architectural collection from the Colonial  Spanish era.

Some of the more famouse sites in Guanajuato are:

  • The University of Guanajuato
  • The Alhóndiga de Granaditas
  • The Juarez Theater
  • The Plaza de la Paz
  • The Santa Cecilia Castle
  • The many mining sites…

And one it’s main attractions is the Mummy Museum, but the mummies here were created by a natural mummification process derived from the elements an temperature conditions of the zone.

The city holds many cultural festivals, including the world famous Festival Cervantino, and as a turistical town is full of good places to eat and drink.
