Introducing Saltillo
Set high in the arid Sierra Madre Oriental, Saltillo is growing fast on the outskirts, but the quiet central area maintains something of a small-town feel. The city also boasts a number of fine colonial buildings, a temperate climate and some good restaurants, while a large student population adds energy. All of this makes it a popular weekend day trip for people from Monterrey. It’s also on the main routes between the northeast border and central Mexico, making it an ideal spot to break a journey.
