Guanajuato, Mexico: Jardin de la Union/Union Garden; things to do

Jardin de la Union/Union Garden in Guanajuato, Mexico

The spectacular square and garden known as Jardin de la Union/Union Garden dates back to the colonial times, when it was the center of street markets and traditional festivities were held here. It is lined with a neatly trimmed canopy of Indian laurel that is so dense it looks as if it is just one tree. Cafes, restaurants, and shops surround the garden, and mariachi bands entertain.
