Two of Mexico’s lesser-known cities are Queretaro and Morelia. In Queretaro’s Plaza de Armas, I visited a building with Victor Cauduro Rojas’ murals of significant Mexican leaders, including Miguel Hidalgo.
I enjoyed Queretaro. It’s a large, developed city, the kind you’d want to live in, and it also has a historic center, so you have the best of the old and new worlds.
I didn’t enjoy Morelia as much, but it has two unique sights: 1) the Church of Guadalupe (aka Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe)
and 2) Biblioteca Publica Universitaria y Fondo Antiguo.
Puebla city, Puebla continues to be the most underrated city I’ve visited in Mexico. Its International Museum of Baroque is world-class, and its Biblioteca de Palafoxiana is one of the most unique libraries ever built, starting with a donation of 5,000 books from Juan de Palafox.
