My newest gallery explores the Mexican state of Michoacán.
Morelia is the capital of the central Mexican state of Michoacán. The colonial city center’s streets are lined with well preserved 17th and 18th century buildings built from the region's characteristic pink stone. It’s a city of beautiful courtyards and fountains.
I also visited the villages of Capula (city of the Catrinas) and Patzcuaro.
