La Llorona


La Llorona

La Llorona is a well known legend. It’s been around for years now. La Llorona or in English “The Weeping Woman” has various versions. The version that I was told by my grandma goes like this…… There was this beautiful woman in this small village she had had two kids from a guy that left her. One day this handsome guy comes to the small village and falls in love with her. She started talking with the guy and told him she had two kids. The guy told her that he didn’t want the kids that he only wanted her, and if she didn’t get rid of the kids he was going to leave her. She wasn’t going to let him go so she did as he pleased. She drowned her two kids. After that the guy left her for some other woman. She was so sad and mad at the same time because she had killed her kids. She then drowns herself. She goes to heaven and God asks, “Where are your kids,” she replies, “I don’t know.” God tells her that she is forbidden from heaven unless she brings back her kids souls. Now she wonders around calling for her kids. Some people have said they have seen her or heard her cry. My cousin told me that she heard La Llorona and that it was the most scariest thing she has ever heard. People say that when you are going to hear her and your asleep you wake up, and then you hear her cry. If you hear her cry nearby that means she is far away, but if you hear her cry far away that means she’s closer than you think. A lot of my family has said they’ve heard her cry. Some of them have seen her. They told me that you can’t see her face. She also appears as a beautiful woman and guys fall for her. She tells them to accompany her. By the time the guys realize it’s the Llorona they are lost in the mountains. I hope I never have to see her or hear her!

Guanajuato, Guanajuato

Guanajuato is the capital of Guanajuato. It's located 230 miles northwest of Mexico City. Guanajuato is surrounded by mountains. The frog is the symbol of Guanajuato. It has numerous mines of gold and silver that were exploded by townspeople over 500 years ago. Guanajuato has many beautiful places you can go visit. Some would be "El Pípila," which is a huge statue that represents a mine-worker, whose name was Juan Jose Martinez.

El Callejon del Beso (The Kissing Alley)
The alley is only 68 cm wide. It got it's name because of a legend. The legend tells the story of two young lover whose families opposed their love. They would secretly meet at their window balconies. One day while they were secretly seeing each other the girl's father caught them when they were about to kiss. The father killed the young man there. They say that the coulples that go and kiss on the third stair step are guranteed seven years of happiness.

El Mueso de Las Momias (Mummy Museum)
(smallest mummy in the museum)
Guanajuato is also known for its mummy musem. The mummies have characteristics that denote desperate and horrific awakening in the narrow space of being buried alive. In most cases the real death preceded by moments of serenity, with no signs of suffering. The museum has over 100 mummies.

There is alot of beautiful places in Guanajuato these are three of the major ones.
