The monumental Bullring, the Racetrack and the Juaréz market are spots that you must visit during your stay.
The city has two missions, the San José Mission and the Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Mission.

that made its appearance during Colonial times, since its walls are made of sun-dried bricks and trunk pillars, making this site a must-see spot.
The city’s most famous dishes are the beef and vegetable burritos, the moronga, guajillo chilli stew with cumin and the famous flour “gorditas”.
Its most prominent beverage is the distilled drink called Sotol, a type of tequila that has a very sweet taste as the process of fermentation lasts longer.
