Introducing Hermosillo
Many travelers simply do a fly-by through Hermosillo, a prosperous agricultural center and the capital of Sonora, without so much as rolling down the window (it’s too hot out there). That’s a shame. It’s actually a well-maintained, modern city with a provincial feel that isn’t a bad spot to kill a day, get a haircut and nosh on some tasty cuisine

Don’t loiter too long, though – it’s a place where commerce and government rule and the heat gets unbearable most afternoons (it’s nicknamed ‘Sun City’ for a reason). But if you’re driving through this region, chances are you’ll spend at least a night here to break the trip and restock on some serious civilization.
Many of the streets in Hermosillo, founded in 1700 by Juan Bautista Escalante, have names that acknowledge the city’s debt to the native revolutionary heroes, including General Álvaro Obregón.
