Rising above the town square is the landmark steeple of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Narrow streets behind the cathedral lead up the hillside to the wealthy Zaragoza neighborhood, better known as Gringo Gulch.
Gringo Gulch rests on the hillside has done a magnificent job at retaining much of the original town's picturesque setting and Old Mexico charm. Despite the transformation, every attempt has been made to keep the town's character and image intact. Even the parking lot at the local Gigante supermarket is cobblestone, and by law, any house built in town must be painted white. From every corner you can see the cathedral, which dominates Gringo Gulch’s landscape.
On the hillside above rests Gringo Gulch, so named after the thousands of US expatriates who settled here during the 1960s and 1970s. Take a stroll along many charming cobblestone streets. Explore this wonderful area, and meet and talk to locals. Enjoy their hospitality!
