Santiago de Querétaro, Colonial city in Central Mexican Highlands, Mexico
The Historic Monuments Zone of Querétaro contains 1,400 monuments spread across the pedestrian streets of the central district.
Founded in 1531, the Spanish colonial settlement developed after battles against local groups, marked by a total solar eclipse during confrontations.
The annual Festival of Santiago de Querétaro presents Mexican music, dance performances, and regional food throughout the city streets.
The city maintains extensive public transportation networks, including bus services and an international airport that connects with major Mexican destinations.
The local wine region produces Mexican sparkling wines at Finca Sala Vivé by Freixenet, offering tours through their production facilities.
