Das Eigentum — Los Pinos
Los Pinos is a no-frills 3-star hotel in central Chihuahua with a functional lobby of tile floors and plastic plants. It suits budget-conscious travellers who need a clean, safe base near the city's main sights rather than resort-style amenities. The USP is its location: a five-minute walk from Plaza de Armas and the cathedral, with parking included.
Chroniken von Chihuahua
Chihuahua was founded in 1709 as a mining and ranching outpost, later becoming a key staging post on the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro. Its colonial core still holds the 18th-century cathedral and the pink stone Government Palace, where Miguel Hidalgo was imprisoned in 1811. The city gained global fame as the birthplace of Pancho Villa, whose museum and former home are major draws. Today, it's a sprawling industrial hub that still feels like a northern frontier town, with cowboy boots and SUVs sharing the streets.
