When to go to Guanajuato?
Colour climbs the hillsides here: painted houses stacked in terraces above cobbled lanes, with music spilling out of the squares at night. The funicular lifts you to the El Pípila monument for the full sweep of domes and rooftops, while the Callejón del Beso narrows until two balconies almost touch, and the legend of the lovers does the rest. The mummy museum is the strange, cool counterpoint.
