The religious spirit prevailed during the time of the Viceroyalty of New Spain because in Guanajuato, there were many riches permitting the construction of temples and chapels. According to tradition, an image of the Christ appeared to the rich miner, Alonso de Villaseca, which compelled him to build the Templo Villaseca near the Cata Mine. Today, faithful believers from all over the nation come to visit the Templo Villaseca to obtain indulgences, goods, and favors.

El Cantador park is an excellent place to go for a walk or jog. Certain times of the year there are traveling plant salespeople that visit and set up their shops in the park; this is an awesome chance to practice Spanish and learn about some of the indigenous plant life!
