Lantienda is on the second floor of the plaza. They have very nice things to offer to the visitor. I left with a couple of beaded bracelets that are made by very accessible kikapu women. There are so many uncommon things to offer that are very nice. 

Wood Park

Wood Park is one of the many little green places we have in the city. The place is nice during the day for the family.

There are a lot of homeless persons there during the evening and overnight. It has been in the city since 1878. It is nice to walk with family but this place needs more security. Parque Madero in the evening can suggest dancing fountains which start at 7 pm and repeat every hour.

It is worth the effort to spend time in this gem. The accompanying photo is typical of the expressive colors. The gift shops are authentically made that are reasonably priced souvenirs. You might be a little disappointed if you have visited the Yaqui and Mayo Indian tribes of the region.

Nearby in the Bicentennial Plaza there is an amazing store on the second floor where you can buy beautiful handmade products from the native people.

Expo Forum Hermosillo

The place is spacious and has parking. Relatively far from the center, ample for exhibitions on one floor access is somewhat inconvenient although the parking lot has a good capacity. It is a good place for public events but inside it is very spacious, with poor acoustics.

In general a comfortable place for massive events. Excellent place for national events, clean, with air conditioning, spacious, fresh facilities, good lighting, large parking lot and vesplanada, with long corridors and dry gardens, surveillance and attention.

This is a nice place to go see, relaxing, tranquil. It will raise your interest if you understand the Mexican story about the miracle of the virgin, Guadalupe. The virgin Guadalupe is a big part of Mexican culture and a testament to the impact on Mexican culture.

You need to take stairs and walk for a while as it is situated on the mountain. People come here to thank for all the miracles.

If you go to the Cathedral, the Palacio de Gobierno is across the street. Watch the wall painted by famous sonora painters specially go to the second floor and look around. Quite a contrast to the regional and rural government buildings.

The murals here represent different periods of Sonoran history and its many cultures. Murals cover every wall surrounding the courtyard. Words cannot fully describe the beauty and intensity of the scenes.

Muses Museum of Art of Sonora

This is a nice museum of contemporary art for the north of Senora that is worth going and looking at the great art work. The exhibit is well organized and the museum is not that crowded so you can enjoy and spend a lot of time on everything that caught our attention.

The staff are friendly. Gallery spaces are wonderful and the artwork is well exhibited. Contemporary art in Mexico is way ahead of that found even in Europe so the show was curated with excellence.

Good selection of stores, a movie theatre that serves dinner and drinks, a bookstore with an extensive selection in English and Spanish, kids places, boutiques and restaurants. The food court is ok. It has everything you might want. Some local handicrafts but limited selection.

It is great to walk or hike up the mountain. See mice, cacti and the surrounding sights that are nice. The trail to the base of Cerro El Bachoco is a walk through the desert. You can see lots of birds and plants. On the top, the 360 degree view is incredible and worth the climb up.
