Due to its great historical importance
and its unique colonial neoclassic architecture
style, Alamos represents great attractiveness
for tourists.
It is the most completely northern city of Mexico
conserved with original features and details.
In addition, Alamos has the only museum of local
customs and manners of the state and is considered
a national historical monument.
Places to Visit:
No matter where you go or which way you turn,
the city's atmosphere is filled up with history.
The church in the town's center plaza, the Chapel
of Zapopan, the Pavilion, the Gazebo, the Cemetery,
the City Government Palace, the Old Jail, and
the Main Square are just a few of the buildings
and cites that have witnessed over three centuries
the events that have helped shape the Mexico of
today.
Other points of interest include "Paseo
del Chalaton," the Museum of Customs and
Traditions, the Cuchujaqui Stream, considered
a unique ecological site, and the romantic "Callejon
del Beso" (Alley of the Kiss). Nearby historic
towns such as Minas Nuevas, La Aduana and Promontorios
were made for interesting daytime visits.
If you enjoy hunting, the area surrounding Alamos
is rich in game, such as deer, wild boar, duck,
dove, quail and other species. Freshwater fishing
is excellent in nearby rivers, and at "El
Mucuzari Dam," with abundant large-mouth
bass, bluegill and catfish.
