We never woke up to an alarm. We spent time exercising or taking long walks nearly every day. We enjoyed many meals out but also took the time to prepare most lunches and maybe half of our dinners at home.
I wouldn’t call it luxurious, but for less than $25 a day, we got a great location and plenty of space to spread out. When you book with Airbnb for at least 28 days, the monthly discounts can be substantial!
We also stayed close to the center of town in San Miguel, finding a two-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette just a block north of the main town plaza. At under $60 a night for a prime location, I was quite happy with these accommodations.
What we loved most about Guanajuato were the celebrations. We were there for the Cervantina, but without a command of the language, most of the events were less enticing.
Just as the Cervantina ended, the Day of the Dead was upon us. Guanajuato celebrates with an awesome tradition of shutting down a full kilometer of one of the main underground traffic tunnels and turning it into one big fiesta.
