| Saltillo |
| Set high in the arid Sierra Madre Oriental,
Saltillo is the oldest city in Northeast Mexico. Less than an hour west of
Monterrey, it's a great stop after a morning at Grutas de Garcia. Some
shopping and sight seeing, plus excellent food and friendly people makes
for a nice afternoon or evening with an easy drive back to
Monterrey. |

|
|
 |
|
 |
| Naturally our first stop is
Tacos El Pastor for lunch. We'd have stayed longer but they don't serve
cerveza. |
 |
|
 |
| Then a little sight seeing,
most of it between Plaza Acuna (above) and Plaza Armas (below
right). |
 |
|
 |
| |
|
|
 |
|
 |
| A little final shopping and a
stop to check out the rooftop pool at the Hotel San Jorge, an excellent,
well kept hotel in downtown Saltillo at only $46 US for a double.
|
 |
|
 |
| We make out last stop back at
Plaza Acuna for a cold Indio and a couple of shrimp and avocado tostados
before bidding farewell to our new found friends below for the trip home.
We'll be back. |
