When I think of a great Bed and Breakfast in Guanajuato, I want romantic, private and elegant. This area of Mexico has its' fair share of choice but are they affordable AND beautiful? Colonial is abundant but is it elegant. Do you feel the contrast of beauty against the old cobblestone streets, the desert cactus, the warm sunshine? Guanajuato has the colorful Mexican charm and the hip, college vibe. San Miguel has a larger range to choose from and again, color is plentiful and the bustling city is ripe for shopping and dining and art gallery tours or a simple hang out in the Centro people watching. I always lead with the obvious because the obvious is on the radar. For the unexpected, authentic and as of yet, undisturbed elegance, take a look at Mineral de Pozos in Guanajuato. A historic gold mining town, once referred to as the quintessential ghost town, a diamond in the rough. The true Wild West set high in the Sierra Gorda, 'Pozos' attracts the bold and adventurous. Long walks in the sprawling big sky terrain, winding through maguey cactus with the mountainous backdrop....biking through the 30km bike trail complete in 2013 including the many ruins and old silver and gold mines, or horseback riding in any direction to experience our version of untouched colonial Mexico. Experience the indigenous architectural vernacular of Pozos with caliche stone hand-built homes and the only caliche stone Bed and Breakfast in Guanajuato on the main Jardin in Mineral de Pozos. Romancing the Gold and the Stone is our niche. One gorgeous place to step back in time and enjoy the serenity, the vistas, the authentic history including a 400 year old church, amazing local cantina with pictures of the Revolution, and extensive mine tours. Pack a lunch and off you go. Back to the stone Bed and Breakfast. Simple luxury....large suites, fourteen foot ceilings and purified bathing and drinking water, gas fireplaces, screened windows, beautiful decor, designer iron beds, antiques and hand sewn cotton quilts to name a few amenities. In warmer months, swim laps in the chemical free pool for the brisk, Benjamin Franklin-style morning. Breakfast on the private terrace with organic coffee and tea, eggs any style, toast or home-made scones, and fresh fruit. Wireless internet completes the morning on your laptop. Shop in our tienda for scarves, sterling jewelry, collector clothing, aromatherapy, organic teas, hand blown glass and more. Grab a map and you are off to explore the many ruins on foot, by horseback (arranged), or car tour. Casually stroll the town and be amazed by the hand-built pre-hispanic instruments, the quartz crystal tiendas, the tortilla shop in production, or, for lunch, one of the restaurants specializing in Pozos Mole Enchiladas. It's all about romance! Come and enjoy. No hustle or bustle and lots of sensory difference. If you really want a treat, ask about visiting the serene LavenDar Farm and marvel at the 5000 lavender plants winding through the characteristic red dirt with Eagle Mountain in the background. Two full days is a perfect snapshot of Pozos...if you really want to kick back and relax....walk, read, write, sleep and take it all in. Still water runs deep here. A gorgeous art gallery, an amazing silver jewelry store with Mexican designs from allover the country, and our romantic Bed and Breakfast should be at the top of the list for an adventure and stay in Mineral de Pozos, Guanajuato.
