Zacatecas has a unique hotel where we went for breakfast this morning. It is built on the remains of the oldest bullring in Mexico! The bullring was closed and replaced in the late 70's and was just left to deteriorate until it's sale and conversion. The dining rooms and lobby look over the bullring while the bull holding area has been taken over as a unique little bar with a table in each of the stone "pens" looking out into the ring. Unfortunately, the bar was not open when we were there but the door was unlocked so we took a quick look through it. We are not staying here as rooms "start" at $295 USA per night and a simple breakfast cost $32 USA for the two of us! Leave it for the rich Gringos!The "Arches" you see behind the hotel is a surviving section of one of the Aqueducts built in the Colonial days.
