Located in northwestern Mexico<\/a> in the state of Sonora (near the Arizona border), Hermosillo is a fascinating place to visit. It\u2019s an especially good destination if you\u2019re looking to avoid other tourists. While your neighbors flock to resorts in Cancun<\/a>, rest assured that you\u2019ll have an enriching experience (and avoid the crowds!) in the Sonoran capital. Here are some suggestions for how to spend a day in Hermosillo.<\/p>\n

Stroll around Plaza Zaragoza and Catedral de la Asunci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"plaza<\/p>\n

One of the most beautiful parts of Hermosillo is Plaza Zaragoza, which is located right in the city center. It was built in 1865 and features a Moorish-style kiosk that was brought over from Florence, Italy in the early 1900s. Plaza Zaragoza also features beautiful flower beds and statues of important Sonoran figures, General Ignacio Pesqueira, and General Garc\u00eda Morales. The stunning Catedral de la Asunci\u00f3n is adjacent to Plaza Zaragoza. The construction on this monumental worship space began in the 18th<\/sup> century, but it wasn\u2019t finished until early in the 20th<\/sup> century. This resulted in a fascinating architectural mix of neoclassical and neogothic styles. Outside of the cathedral, local craftspeople sell their wares (silver jewelry, woven baskets, and textiles, to name a few).<\/p>\n
