Casa de Tía Aura
Museum · Presa · Paseo de la Presa 62, Guanajuato
A legend-focused house museum on Paseo de la Presa, built for visitors who like theatrical, spooky storytelling more than a conventional museum route.
Visitor note: Treat it as a focused cultural stop rather than a box to check. Most museums in Guanajuato work best when paired by area, so choose one nearby cafe or plaza afterward and avoid stacking too many indoor visits in a single afternoon. The Presa side is calmer and more spread out than the central plaza loop. It works well when you want a quieter walk, but after dark it is smarter to plan transport back if you are not staying nearby.
