Zacatecas Thanks to its rich mining past, Zacatecas is filled with pink stone buildings and baroque churches stretching their towers to heaven. To get married here, in this city that was declared a World Heritage Site by unesco, means you will do it with the Cerro de la Bufa at a distance, among narrow alleys that go up and down. There are plenty of small plazas, public fountains, artisan candy shops and silver workshops. But if something abounds in this corner at the north of the country, are amazing museums. Take the time to visit them all.

Gracias a su rico pasado minero, Zacatecas se pobló de edificios de cantera rosada y de iglesias barrocas encimando sus torres al cielo. Casarse aquí, en esta ciudad que fue declarada Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad por la unesco, significa hacerlo con el Cerro de la Bufa a lo lejos, entre estrechos callejones que suben y bajan. Abundan las plazuelas, las fuentes públicas, las tiendas de dulces artesanales y los talleres donde se trabaja la plata. Pero si
algo presume este rincón del norte del país son sus asombrosos museos. Hay que darse el tiempo para conocerlos todos.
