Xilitla

September 01, 2017 • Leave a Comment

The village of Xilitla is located in the state of San Luis Potosi about a 6-hour drive from Mexico City. The pueblo is on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Gorda which makes for a fun mountainous 2 lane highway ride. The place is magical, the landscapes are spectacular and the people amazingly friendly.

Hotel accommodations are extremely inexpensive. Less than $40 for a large double room. The area is known for Las Pozas de Edward James among other natural wonders like the Sotano de las Golondrinas and Cascada los Comales.

Las Pozas de Edward James

August 28, 2017 • Leave a Comment

Las Pozas is Spanish for “The Pools” and is one of the most interesting places I have been in Mexico. They sit at more than 2,000 feet above sea level in a subtropical rainforest in the mountains of Mexico near the village of Xilitla San Luis Potosi.

This is a fantasy garden with large surreal concrete structures built between 1949 and 1984 by the Edward James a British poet known for his collection of surrealist art. Here’s a link to an interesting Edward James documentary on YouTube.

The village of Xilitla is a seven-hour drive north of Mexico City. We traveled through the state of Queretaro and through the Sierra Gorda. Driving conditions were good however you have to have a big sense of adventure driving through a two lane road filled with a multitude of curves. The scenery, however, was spectacular.

San Miguel de Allende Mexico

August 28, 2017 • Leave a Comment

I just finished another enjoyable trip to Mexico! This stop was the colonial city of San Miguel de Allende located 170 miles from Mexico City in the state of Guanajuato. The city is very well known as a popular retirement destination for Americans from the US. It is not uncommon to hear English spoken more than Spanish in popular hotels and restaurants.

The city is rich with culture and art with activities that attract tourist for a weekend or a full week. This is my second visit and only enjoyed a day trip to walk the streets and give you a glimpse of the everyday life in this colorful “Pueblo Magico” of San Miguel de Allende.
