La Sauceda, a little town about 45 minutes south of the beautiful colonial city of Guanajuato, and maybe an hour from San Miguel, is one of those off-road villages that survives on both tourist and commercial traffic; however, not many tourists stop. There’s no gift shops or any stores catering to the tourist trade. If you blink your eyes as you pass through you’ll miss it. Not even one tope (speed bump) which are ubiquitous everywhere else in Mexico. Victor Gutierrez, our driver for the day, whom we hired to drive us (safely) to Guanajuato—a man of many words, but cautious with most of them—told us about the little town and wondered if we would be interested in seeing the “real Mexico.” He had noticed that I enjoyed taking pictures (not a difficult assumption since I was shooting left and right through the windows of the moving van), and asked me if it wouldn’t please me to stop and take pictures there.
