León de los Aldama Unfiltered: What Not to Do (And Why Your Mom Would Care)

@Logan Frost2/12/2026blog

hey, you ever wander into león de los aldama and feel like the city’s a raw film roll waiting to be shot?

## *Catedral Light Sessions as a freelance photographer i’m always hunting that Catedral glow at golden hour, but the security vibe here is surprisingly chill - homicide rate hovers around 5 per 100k, lower than many mexican towns. rent? a one‑bedroom in the historic center runs about $450 usd, while a shared spot can be as cheap as $250. the job market’s a mix: tech gigs are budding, but most folks still hustle in retail or tourism.

the weather right now feels like a warm tortilla wrapped in a breeze, and guanajuato is just a short drive away, perfect for a quick weekend escape.

Mercado Musings i’ve snagged shots of the bustling Mercado de la Luz, where the stalls scream colors and the locals swear by the fresh Café* de olla. keep your gear close, 'cause pickpockets love the crowd - just a friendly heads‑up from a buddy who once lost a lens cap in the chaos.
