side trip possibilities returning from Texas Eagles Pass entry

We would like to make a side trip while returning to Mexico. The time frame is early next week.

There seems to be something going on in Guanajuato as hotels are booked but if you know of a place there let me know.

Maybe north of Guadalajara would be good, Jalostotitlan, where the inlay woodworkers are but how do you find them there?

Or still over in southeast in Mich for Delores Hidalgo?

Is there anything in Saltillo to see?

Any suggestions we will take...we have two or three days to be road warriors.

Thanks.

i would avoid michoacan and zacatecas like the plague,especially the former.

For Guanajuato, you might check out this highly rated B&B:

Since you didn't provide your exact dates, I put in Monday - Saturday and it appears they have availability every night.
For those same nights, Booking.com is showing:

"Or still over in southeast in Mich for Delores Hidalgo?"
Dolores Hidalgo is in the State of Guanajuato and from our limited experience, we cannot recommend staying there because of marginal hotels and very limited dining options. We go there fairly frequently on business and generally stay in San Miguel de Allende because of the choices offered.

If you have any interest in leather products, you might consider Leon. There is a Holiday Inn directly across the street from the Zona Piel: http://www.ihg.com/holidayinn/hotels/us/en/leon/bjxex/hoteldetail

my hockey friends who live here in guadalajara and have a team asked me to go play with them in leon in sept. for a tournament. it was cancelled about 3 weeks ago because of danger. the leon organizers cancelled it.

I'd go to Zacatecas (since I've never been, somehow). Otherwise, if you want something different and easy and great, Queretaro for a few nights in el centro.

Dolores Hidalgo is a snore. I spent three nights there happily, but that was years ago when I was much easier to satisfy. If you want a city fix, do Queretaro if you've never been. Or, nearby Tequisquiapan is pleasant in a touristy, sorta-like Tlaquepaque kind way.

Turn West @ Chihuahua .... straight thru to Copper Canyon....

I understand there is a passenger train...

Thatz one that is on My Bucket List!

I was in Leon 4 weeks ago visiting family who live there,no more danger there than in any other large city. 

which part of the city is the hockey rink? that might be the problema-the location.

Great info, thanks so much.
