León de Los Aldama
León de los Aldama is one of Mexico's largest cities and the undisputed economic capital of Guanajuato state, built around a leather industry that has shaped it since the mid-20th century — producing shoes, boots, belts, and jackets for global markets. Founded in 1576 and renamed in 1830 to honour independence figures Juan and Ignacio Aldama, the city pairs its industrial identity with a walkable centre full of cafés, restaurants, and cycling infrastructure, and sits within reach of several UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider Bajío region.
