MEXICO - Guanajuato
Guanajuato is the capital of the state of the same name and lies in a narrow valley, which makes its streets narrow and winding. Most are alleys that cars cannot pass through, and some are long sets of stairs up the mountainsides. Many of the city's thoroughfares are partially or fully underground. The historic center has numerous small plazas and colonial-era mansions, churches, and civil constructions built using pink or green sandstone. The growth of Guanajuato resulted from the abundantly available minerals in the mountains surrounding it. The mines were so rich that the city was one of the most influential during the colonial period. The city is home to the Mummy Museum, which contains naturally mummified bodies that were found in the municipal cemetery between the mid 19th and 20th centuries. The city was named a World Heritage Site in 1988.

Good to know: if you get fined for a bad parking spot, you get the paper on your windshield, but they also confiscate your license plate. So you have to go to their office and pay, or you will be arrested by the police and probably you will have to pay the license plate to the car rental company. Here, a man fixes our license plate on the parking lot of the transport administration.
