Learning
Spanish in Guanajuato (Mexico)
"Guanajuato is the ideal spot
in Mexico to study Spanish, being a small and quiet
university city (comparable to Granada and Salamanca
in Spain) and far from the tourist cities (such as Cancún
or Cuernavaca). Declared a World Heritage Site by the
UNESCO, you will be charmed by its wealth in architecture
and culture. The international airport, less than half
an hour away, provides the city with excellent connections
with all the other cities in Mexico and with the rest
of the world. As regards your personal safety, please
do not worry. Guanajuato is 99,9% safe!"

THE CITY:
Population: approximately 120,000.
The city of Guanajuato is the state capital and is one
of the most important historical and cultural colonial cities
in Mexico.
Guanajuato is located in the central part of Mexico, south
of the high Mexican plateau.
In 1988, the UNESCO declared Guanajuato and the surrounding
silver mines a “World Heritage Site”.
The state possesses an international airport, 40 kilometres
from the city centre.
CULTURAL/RECREATIONAL:
Although a small city, Guanajuato has a great deal to
offer: from the beautiful colonial buildings to modern museums,
from the silver mines to the university.
Guanajuato astonishes the visitor with the charm of its
relaxed atmosphere. Its paved streets and picturesque squares.
The Festival International Cervantino, or FIC, is a very
prestigious and famous festival of culture, music, theatre
and dance. It is held annually during the first two week
of October and attracts intellectuals, artists and tourists
from all over the world.
The famous Underground Street, officially known as Calle
Miguel Hidalgo has an amazing charm. Following the course
of the old Guanajuato River, it runs nearly 3 kilometres
beneath the city.
Practically the entire state of Guanajuato has a pleasant
climate with temperatures between 12ºC and 24º C.
CRITICAL COMMENT:
The majority of flights to the airport at Guanajuato stop
first at Ciudad de Mexico.
