Our Lonely Planet Guide describes Morelia as "the coolest city you've never heard of". I wouldn't doubt that. One thing it lacks is an RV park, so we took the bus from Patzcuaro. RVs are not meant to travel through this city of about 600,000. We once drove straight through, including the downtown, with the dubious assistance of our GPS. It was not a happy adventure, but the 500-year-old architecture was so appealing we resolved to return deliberately some day.
The largest attraction downtown is the catedral (Spanish spelling) and it's a stunner. It took over 100 years to build and saw a few changes in architectural design along the way.

Not well focused but look at that marble floor.
I worry about the confessionals. Do you really kneel there, out in the open, and tell your sins to the priest who is safely ensconced in his cubicle?

We saw many churches in Morelia!
