Located in the Sierra Madre Occidental in Sonora is where you will find Alamos and it is a little city and very fun Mexican colony. Population in Alamos is only around 5900 and its elevation is 1,245 ft. Alamos holds much history of the conquistadors, mining barons, imperialists and revolutionaries and exists in the north as a colonial pueblo. Spanish romanticism and Old Mexico are the feelings you will get upon entering this small colonial pueblo city of Alamos.
Alamos makes a great escape from the business of an overactive city life. The people are incredibly friendly and laid back. As I said earlier within Alamos there are about 5900 people and there are also another 3900 on the outskirts of Alamos. Alamos is a true gem! None of the outlying area even holds a candle to this historic pueblo city. The area offers almost year round sunshine with mild temperatures due to its elevation within the Sierras. Some days are cooler, a few hot days and beautiful rain storms occur during the months of July and August.
