Introducing Aguascalientes State
The state of Aguascalientes (population 1.1 million) is one of Mexico’s smallest; its focus is the city of the same name. According to local legend, a kiss planted on the lips of dictator Santa Anna by the wife of a prominent local politician brought about the creation of a separate Aguascalientes state from Zacatecas.

Beyond the museum-rich city formal tourist sites are few, but it’s a pleasant enough drive en route to or from Zacatecas, through fertile lands of corn, beans, chilies, fruit and grain. The state’s ranches produce beef cattle as well as bulls, which are sacrificed at bullfights countrywide.
