Irapuato, Mexico

Irapuato Mexico

Irapuato is a Mexican city in the state of Guanajuato, located in the centre of the state and the Bajío region. It was founded on 15 February 1547. The city lies at the foot of Arandas Hill, with narrow streets and an irregular ‘broken plate’ street plan that defines the layout of the historic centre, which then opens out into more modern, wider areas of new neighbourhoods and boulevards. The surrounding area has fertile farmland and extensive orchards that cover much of its municipal territory. Irapuato has great strategic importance due to its location in the centre of the country and in the heart of the state of Guanajuato.
