It’s not far fetched to call Fabrica La Aurora the art capital of Mexico. Once an industrial textilemill, it is now a bustling center for creators and appreciators of art. Local artists in residence boast of the supportive community that’s stirring up the art scene that was once established downtown.

Make sure to keep your eyes off the ground as there’s so much to see, from abstract sculptures to striking paintings. Part of its ultimate charm is the open studios and galleries where visitors are encouraged to watch the next masterpiece come to life. A casual stroll through the center might lead you to an impromptu fiesta where art, music, and drink are celebrated.

Even if you’re not the typical museum hopper, with its abundance of open galleries, antique stores, restaurants, and shops, one can easily find his or her next muse here.
