When visiting Guanajuato you have to attend one of the classic Callejoneadas, which are tours through the picturesque streets and alleyways of the city. On these witty tours you'll be accompanied by musical groups called Estudiantinas, who liven up the nights with their youthful charm.
During this tour you will discover the beautiful city and listen to entertaining versions of classic Mexican songs and some original songs as well, sung by groups of youngsters who gather in the city streets. Feel free to dance with them, sing, and laugh along with their funny stories and songs.
With string instruments, accordions, simple percussion instruments, old fashioned clothing and unique vocal arrangements, the Estudiantinas offer much more than just a tour around the city streets. They really do put on a beautiful show and you are sure to have a fun, unique evening!
Go on a Callejoneada while you are in Guanajuato and experience one of the newest Mexican traditions which now defines this ancient city. As the locals say, "Visiting Guanajuato and not experiencing a Callejoneada is like you've never really been here at all."
