Duck into La Casa del Conde Rul

🍊 Hidden Gems & Local Flavors: Beyond the postcard-perfect spots, Guanajuato rewards the curious. Duck into La Casa del Conde Rul, a 17th-century mansion turned cultural center, where spiral staircases twist like nopal vines and rooftop views rival Pipila’s. For a taste of local life, join abuelitas at Panadería La Mexicana at dawn to buy conchas (sugar-dusted pastries) still warm from the oven. The Museo de las Momias (Mummy Museum), while macabre, reveals Mexico’s unique relationship with death—note how some mummies’ shoes outlived them by centuries. At sunset, follow the scent of charred corn to street vendors slathering elotes with chili-lime mayo and cotija cheese. Pro tip: Order a margarita de guanábana (soursop margarita) at Casa Valadez—its courtyard, draped in bougainvillea, is where Diego Rivera once debated art over tequila. Here, even ordinary moments feel dipped in magic. #Mexico #La Casa del Conde Rul
