Indeed one of Mexico’s most prestigious, international and complete events around the calendar. Guanajuato pays homage to Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote. Visitors to Guanajuato in October are treated to strolling minstrels, symphony orchestras, opera, jazz, rock groups and dance companies. Also available for the public are arts and crafts festivals, experimental theater groups and new film releases. Reservations should be made well in advance for this annual festival. If you are a culture and arts lover this is where to go in October. Guanajuato is perhaps Mexicos and one of Latinamericas most beautiful cities illuminated at night. Having the opportunity and missing it is a capital sin!
