Mobile ticket

Callejoneadas are a tradition that emerged in Guanajuato in the mid-20th century, inspired by the old Spanish student groups. These musical groups, composed mainly of university students, roam the city's alleys and squares singing popular songs while recounting local legends and anecdotes. The tradition was adapted to Guanajuato's colonial setting, where the narrow alleys and architectural landscape offer an ideal environment for the activity. Although callejoneadas were born as a form of student entertainment, over time they have become one of the city's main tourist attractions, thus preserving a connection with the region's history, culture and popular art.

What To Expect

Iglesia de San Diego

Located next to the iconic Juarez Theater, the San Diego Temple dates back to the 17th century and was built by the order of the Discalced Franciscans. In colonial times, Guanajuato flourished thanks to its silver mines, and this temple was a meeting point for believers and miners seeking divine protection before entering the mines.

Guanajuato's alleys, such as Salto del Mono, reflect the city's unique colonial architecture. Due to the mountainous topography and the uncontrolled growth driven by the mining rush of the 18th century, homes were built on uneven terrain, connected by narrow, steep alleys.
