<\/strong>It is from this period that the colonial architecture originates, permeating all of Guanajuato and found almost at every turn.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the 18th century, Guanajuato was a world leader in silver mining and has retained its architectural <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Elements Hotel&amp;Spa\"

and Neoclassical buildings have inspired architects throughout Mexico for centuries.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Guanajuato is not very well known among foreign tourists, but it is all the more popular with Mexican visitors, whose numbers literally fill the streets during the season.<\/strong>  Even outside of peak season, we met tourists, but only a handful of them were from the USA and

And whoever didn&#8217;t pay, their deceased would be exhumed. Some people indeed refused to pay, so the city exhumed many remains.  <\/p>\n\n<p>It turned out that thanks to the unique geological subsoil, an almost perfect mummification process occurred, and the bodies were nearly intact.
