The 350 km from Satillo to Zacatecas in straight as an arrow but smooth as silk.
Thank goodness for GPS or finding our hotel in the warren of narrow cobblestone streets would have been a nightmare. We are 2 blocks from the Cathedral in the cultural center.
We spent a lot of time just walking around since there was a new stunning sight around almost every corner. We came across a processional of dancers in traditional dress. The Torta Chirizo at Betty’s Lonchueria were delicious.
The Museo Rafael Coronel is a must see. It is located in a partially restored ruin and houses an incredible collection of traditional masks.
We also visited several of the other major churches including the Tempo de Santa Domingo and Tempo Jesus. There is a Festival de Teatro with venues all over town and we took in a Cirque like show. We walked up the hill from the hotel to take the cable car across the valley to the summit and then walked down the “the walk of the cross”.
The Gorditas at Dona Julia are so good we had to go back again just before we left for San Luis de Potosi.
Guys,
I was in Saltillo and Zacatacas about 8 years ago. Glad you all are having a good time on your ride. I am enjoying your ride. Be safe out there.
