Guanajuato, State capital and administrative division in central Mexico.
The state occupies 30,608 square kilometers of land in central Mexico, bordered by six neighboring states including Jalisco, Zacatecas, and Michoacán.
During the 18th century, Guanajuato emerged as a global silver production center, with mines like La Valenciana generating substantial portions of worldwide silver output.
The Festival Internacional Cervantino transforms the state into a center for performing arts, drawing artists and audiences from numerous countries each October.
The state maintains an extensive network of highways connecting to major Mexican cities, with Guanajuato International Airport providing domestic and international flights.
A system of underground tunnels, initially built for flood control, now functions as roadways beneath the capital city's surface.
