Queretaro: Less Obvious Things to do?

Peter (#6) - somehow pictures of San Joaquin never inspired me to visit the town. What I know however is that the time to visit is April when International Huasteco Dance festival is held there (http://sanjoaquin.gob.mx/) It must be amazing: as said, I've never been to SJ but few times that I stopped for a night in Pinal de Amoles, another municipal town in Sierra Gorda that I really like for its remoteness and friendliness and cleanliness and several beautiful streets, the town's teenagers were practicing for the festival in the Casa de la Cultura right the main plaza: we were watching them through the windows and they invited us in. It is a lot of fun to watch them practicing and I am sure the festival itself is just awesome.

Pinal is another place I'd like to visit. Actually, there are a half dozen in Queretaro. So I probably need to go back, it's been several years now. I have a $300 credit on Southwest I need to use by the end of May, so perhaps I'll fly to Mexico City and bus to Queretaro sometime soon.

ElPelon... That's exactly right!! I actually did travel from Penamiller to Mineral de Pozos (my friends used to own B&B there back in a day when it was not that touristy) - but I've never been to San Jose Iturbide. I will certainly consider going this route! - if not next week, maybe next time :) Many thanks, great idea!!
