Keen to discover the northern region of Mexico? The Nuevo León, as well as Coahuila are two regions housing cities to see, when going on a visit to the north of Mexico. In fact, Monterrey and Saltillo have several attractions.

The north and south are two different worlds, not only in terms of their landscape but also their economic structures. On this one strip of land fierce industrialization contrasts with a laid back tourist lifestyle.

Lazy southern beaches vs a buzzing urban north.

I visited Morelia at the end of my <a href="/mexico/">trip to Mexico</a>. Like the vast majority of Mexican cities, its centre is constructed in the following manner: a main plaza around which stands a cathedral and various beautiful colonial buildings. I could well have become bored with this layout, but that's absolutely impossible in Morelia, so beautiful and captivating is the city. In fact it's even inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage.

Morelia is a charming town with an atmosphere that is somewhere between a student town and that of the cultural centre of the state. As a result , I felt at home there, and wanted to spend a lot of time wandering along the narrow streets and sitting on the cafe terraces. The historic, colonial centre is really cute, but the town's star attraction is the cathedral's magnificent dome. The town's "dulces" (or sweets) are also famous. If you love really, really sweet things, you'll love them!

It's the capital of Michoacan state, and also famous for its annual cinema festival.
