Santiago, Nuevo León: a fantastic Pueblo Mágico not far from Monterrey (VIDEO)

2525

Hidden between the Sierra Madre Oriental and the Sierra de la Silla, Santiago is a Magical Town that awaits your visit. Although the houses and streets of the town are a great attraction, there are many more things to do here.

In the temple of Santiago Apóstol, built in 1745, as well as the Municipal Palace, erected in 1910, the architectural style of the 18th and 19th centuries is preserved. In the streets of Santiago you can breathe a calm provincial air that invites you to rest. After relaxing on a bench, ask for a table at one of the many restaurants serving local and international food.
