General overview

Old stones, high beamed ceilings, patios and greenery, sun and shade spots when you want them, stops short of grand and not luxurious, but instead is a simply lovely and comfortable home. Morelia's colonial architecture, Cathedral, plazas, mercados, cafes, restaurants, and museums within 5-20 minute walk. Year-round temperate climate of the central highlands (at 6300' altitude), we never need air-conditioning or heat -- though the occasional evening fire in the huge stone fireplace is nice!
