You can accompany your drinks with flavorful atoles with pulque or made with mature natural fruits; or how about a good wine produced with cultivated grapevines from the region.
The traditional candies of the region, and that you must definitely try, are the following: jericallas, jamoncillos, honeyed yams, crystallized fruits, tacha pumpkin, tamales de muerto, piloncillo gorditas with cheese, cream and lemon cake.
All of them are a delicacy for the palate, so the difficult part will be which one you will decide to try first! The Aqueduct, which is an emblematic construction of the town, can be found inside the architectonic and cultural attractions surrounding the plazas.
Its construction took place almost 11 years ago, and it has 75 stone quarry arcs.
The Regional Museum, the old Train Station and the Theatre of the Republic are also cultural sites that are well frequented.
The ‘Cerro de las Campanas’ (Bells’ Mountain) is famous for its excellent panoramic view of the city; it won its name due to the similar sound a bell makes while the rocks clash against one another.
The Santa Cruz de los Milagros Temple and Ex-convent can be traced back to the 17th Century, and the spines under the trees that grow around its cross are extremely famous.
Another historic attraction is the ‘Casa del Tratado de Paz’ (Peace Treaty House), which was the only place where the document that gave away half of the Mexican territory to the United States for 15 million dollars was signed.
Juriquilla has several attractions and activities due to its proximity with the city of Querétaro, so if you visit us during March, you will be able to attend the International Siguientescena Festival, where international and national spectacles demonstrating the best of the cultural world, such as dance, theatre, film, circus and street theatre, are shown; so if you haven’t booked your vacation yet, please think twice and decide to spend your days at this beautiful place!
