Pueblos Magicos

The Magical Towns of Mexico Program, developed by the Ministry of Tourism in collaboration with various government agencies and state and municipal governments, contributing to reassess a whole population of the country that have always been in the collective imagination of the nation as a whole and representing fresh and different for domestic and foreign visitors alternatives. More than a rescue, it is a recognition of those who inhabit these beautiful places in the Mexican geography and have managed to keep to all the cultural and historical riches they contain.

One Pueblos Magicos is near San Miguel.

Lost in time, this small town has been recognized as magic for the beauty of its buildings and its colorful, home to legends and breathtaking scenery. Bernal word is of Arabic origin and means rock. Thanks to its unique Peña and the rescue of the urban image, in February 2006, he was awarded the category of magical town.

San Sebastian Bernal is the full name of the town which houses the world's third largest, after the Rock of Gibraltar and Sugarloaf Brazil monolith. the cobbled streets, landscape and crafts in Bernal makes time stand still to admire frayed, blankets and tablecloths made in looms with 100 years old.

It was founded in 1642 by several Spanish families that took possession of the land, it has beautiful buildings dating from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that preserve architectural styles of singular beauty. Ancient flowery balconies and lanterns give life to this magical town in the charming craft shops which display spectacular and laborious tablecloths and blankets made on looms of 100 years old.

There are 83 Pueblos Magicos. I intend to explore each one.
