Founded on May 8, 1757 as Villa Real de Borbón at the foot of Cerro de Santiago, this jewel of the Bajío preserves its quarry stone architecture with the same vigor of yesteryear. Walking through its Historic Center, the Church of the Immaculate Conception welcomes you with picturesque gardens, fountains and sculptures that exude baroque art. Nearby, the Chapels of the Virgin of Guadalupe and San Isidro Labrador are oases of peace and tradition.

Just minutes from Celaya and Salamanca, the region's largest hot springs water park is a haven of fun for the whole family: slides, bubbling pools and a natural environment that invites a smile. After refreshing yourself, discover the local expertise in workshops where mats and baskets are woven with fibers that speak of our roots.

Be sure to visit the site museum: there you will relive the evolution of a town that in 1827 changed its name to honor the insurgent Julián de Villagrán. Among its streets were born characters that left their mark on the laws, literature and public life of Mexico.

In Villagrán, history beats in every corner and hospitality is felt in the warm air of its springs. Come, feel part of this royal village and take with you the legacy of quarry, tradition and welcome that flourishes with every visit.”
