The Alamos guidebook / Donna McGee and BK Hamma.

Incluye bibliografía e índices

Alamos, Sonora, Mexico, one of the unique Pueblos Magicos of Mexico, is the northern-most colonial town in Mexico. This remote treasure, with its foreign community of less than 400, is still Mexico as it was decades ago. Restored mansions reflect the days when they were home to the silver barons. The international music festival attracts hundreds, the green hills surrounding town embrace the winding streets, and Mexicans welcome visitors with warmth. Alamos attracts people who are looking for a different Mexico, where they can live side by side with Mexican neighbors, or buy a mansion with a pool and views. Some come with young families, some come to retire, to learn Spanish, to build a house or to pursue their art. Just eight hours south of Tucson AZ one can drive to town in a day or fly to the local airport. The Alamos Guidebook was written with the visitor, the resident, and the traveler in search of a new home in mind. It is the only printed resource on Alamos that includes detailed information on Planning Your Trip, Where to Eat, Stay, Shop; Events-Fiestas-Festivals; Tours including Natural History; Outdoor Activities including Bird Watching, History, Architecture and Culture. Eleven maps provide details of the different areas, walking tours, the surrounding area and tour locations. This guidebook provides the reader with facts and figures and details to make informed decisions about visiting or living in Alamos.
