Home to the University of Guanajuato and the International Cervantino Festival, Guanajuato has a lively and vibrant historic center. Its museums, leafy plazas and legendary callejones are friendly and colorful both day and night. The sound of traditional Spanish musicians called estudiantinas can be heard as they lead processions through the streets of town after dark.

Marvelously located just steps from Diego Rivera’s house, numerous restaurants and shops, and the Museo del Pueblo, Alma del Sol is a unique bed and breakfast and art studio. Located next door to the Templo de la Compania, Alma offers full immersion in the sights and sounds of the city -- both by foot, and from the rooftop lounge and studio.

Our workshops will be held in Hugo’s studios. Morning coffee and evening happy hour will both be offered in the rooftop bar / lounge -- and breakfast in Alma’s bright and festive dining room. Morning writing exercises will be held in the dining room after breakfast.

Workshop participants will be hosted at Alma or at our sister property, Hotel de Color -- just a short walk from Alma. Both properties have wifi in the rooms and in common areas, and are cleaned and cared for daily by Hugo’s wonderful staff.

All bedrooms and suites have a private bathroom with shower, and all beds are luxuriously comfortable. As we are located in the center of a bustling city, you may want to consider bringing earplugs to help ensure an undisturbed sleep. We’ll assign rooms on a first come, first served basis; please let us know if you’d like to share a room with a friend or partner. A limited number of single rooms are available for an additional fee.
