Aguascalientes, State in central Bajío region, Mexico.
The state extends across 5,471 square kilometers of semi-arid terrain with numerous hot springs, bordered by Zacatecas and Jalisco states.
The region transformed from a Chichimec settlement to Spanish control in the 16th century, gaining state status in 1835 after separation from Zacatecas.
The San Marcos Fair, held between April and May, features traditional music performances, livestock exhibitions, artistic presentations, and regional food specialties.
Manufacturing facilities, including major automotive plants, provide employment opportunities while rail networks connect the state to other Mexican regions.
El Cristo Roto, a 25-meter-tall sculpture on an island in Plutarco Elías Calles Dam, requires boat access for visitors to reach its sanctuary.
