Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking along the tree-lined Calzada toward the Arco de la Calzada or across the plaza toward the dramatic neo-Gothic facade of Templo Expiatorio, showing laurel branches and stone pavers in the foreground, the architectural monument in the middle-ground, and the soft Bajío valley horizon fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick manicured laurels of the Plaza Principal, jacaranda trees along Calzada de los Héroes, and park greenery.
