One of Mexico's best
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/6/06
Morelia is accomodating, friendly, and inexpensive (stay at the Hotel Colonial-- don't mess with expensive places). Since the bus station moved away from the centre, some of the best breakfasts anywhere in Mexico were shipped out; but there is still great food all throughout the center. Walk East towd the tarasca fountain and beyond to a good bookstore. See the zoo. Visit the museums. I especially like the one close to Jardin de las Rosas, also known as Parque Cervantes. Right in the park, the Cafe del Observatorio (I think that's what it's called) has great espresso and good food. You're around the corner from a movie theatre, too. The university (south of the zocalo) and the Sports Centre (SE along the acueducto) are places to get more exercise if you need it. But you can easily walk 10 miles a day in this town. Morelia ranks up there with Xalapa, Queretaro, Oaxaca as a colonial gem, and a good place to live. I'll keep quiet about my other favorites.
