To visit Morelia is to arrive in a city where time stood still. Its tranquil streets are silent witnesses to the history that has gathered in every corner, offering with tenderness the caress of a place that has been classified as "a unique model in America" by UNESCO, who also gave it the title of a World Cultural Heritage site in 1991.

Attractions

Morelia is a gorgeous tourist destination that has preserved its colonial feel over the centuries, and kept the elegance of its magnificent buildings and churches. The distinctive color of its beautiful constructions, made unmistakably of solid quarry stone, has earned it the nickname of "Ciudad Rosa" (The Pink City).

Restaurants

Morelia offers the visitor a variety of tasty cuisine, and still preserves the ancestral flavors inherited from the Tarascas (the indigenous people of the region), which has now been mixed with Spanish cuisine. With the arrival of the conquerors, new techniques were learnt to complement their hunting and the fishing, such as the cultivation of almonds and other plants, and also farming. Hence, with a solid indigenous platform, the dishes that distinguish Michoacan's cuisine were slowly created.

Nightlife

Morelia is, without doubt, a city full of history, culture and art. The streets and buildings have a sober baroque style, which was predominant during colonial times, the locals are friendly, and in the surrounding areas you can enjoy water sports, visit interesting archaeological sites and even get involved in eco-tourism. But when night falls, Morelia transforms into a city where the party never stops.
