Baroque churches rise from pink quarry stone streets in this colonial masterpiece, where the massive cathedral dominates Plaza de Armas. Locals gather at sidewalk cafes beneath the arches of the 18th-century aqueduct, its 253 arches glowing amber at sunset. The José María Morelos Theater hosts performances worth attending even if you don't understand Spanish. Carnitas vendors compete for your attention, but save room for corundas - triangular tamales that locals insist taste better with a view of Plaza Morelos. Football matches at Estadio Morelos offer a crash course in Mexican passion, complete with synchronized chants you'll find yourself humming days later. For a quieter afternoon, the Palace of Art showcases regional artists in a building that itself deserves contemplation.
