Morelia Travel Guide

Morelia is a safe and beautifully preserved colonial Mexican City that was formerly called Valladolid when Mexico was a Spanish Colony.  Morelia was an exceedingly rich city due to the abundance of silver in the region.  All of the buildings in the zocalo are made out of a pink-tinted stone. 

Relax in Morelia, don't be in a hurry, and don't worry about your safety despite the recent violence.  A luxury hotel in a Colonial building will run you about $65.00. 

The center of the city is a historic preservation zone and no cars are allowed!

Cuando vayan a Morelia tienen q comer gaspachos (no es la sopa fria d cocina espanola) es fruta picada con cebolla, vinagre y queso! Si ya se suena asqueroso pero sabe delicioso :)

Be sure to visit the "Portales" downtown by the Cathedral. They are lined with restaurants where the food is accesible and very good. Try the "sopa tarasca" a local favorite.
