Morelia is a city and municipality in the north central part of the state of Michoacán in central Mexico. The city is in the Guayangareo Valley and is the capital and largest city of the state. The main pre-Hispanic cultures here were the Purépecha and the Matlatzinca, but no major cities were founded in the valley during this time. The Spanish took control of the area in the 1520s. The Spanish under Viceroy Antonio de Mendoza founded a settlement here in 1541 with the name of Valladolid, which became rival to the nearby city of Pátzcuaro for dominance in Michoacán. In 1580, this rivalry ended in Valladolid’s favor and it became the capital of the colonial province. After the Mexican War of Independence, the city was renamed Morelia in honor of José María Morelos, who hailed from the city. In 1991, the city was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its well preserved colonial buildings and layout of the historic center.
Human settlements in the Guayangareo Valley in which Morelia is located have been dated back as far as the 7th century. Artifacts found here have shown Teotihuacán culture influence on early cultures in this area. In the 12th century, the Purépecha arrived in the valley. They dominated it politically for the rest of the pre-Hispanic period but did not build any major settlements here. Between the 12th and the 15th century, Matlatzincas moved into the area with permission of the Purépechas, who were based around nearby Pátzcuaro Lake. The main Matlatzinca settlement was where Júarez Plaza in the city is today.

One of my weekend excursions from Guadalajara during my Mexican language study trip in February of 2010 took me to Morelia, the capital of the Mexican state of Michoacan. Morelia is known for its huge collection of colonial architecture, which even includes a 17th century aqueduct. After a 3.5 hour bus ride in a luxury ETN bus I arrived in Morelia on Saturday, February 13. My local guide by the name of Rodrigo picked me up and we went on a double-decker tour bus of the entire city which gave me a great overview of this historic city. Our sightseeing bus also stopped at the Santuario de Guadelupe, a spectacularly ornamented church with soft pink and white gold trim. Once our bus tour was finished we walked through the towns centre which was full of people celebrating carnival. The streets...

Cuéntame cómo haces tú
Para ver otra vez la luz
Enséñame a no depender
A ser libre y a querer estar sin ti
Muéstrame como se detiene
Este amor que me atormenta
Como vas a hacer
Para esconderte de mí, oh Morelia
Ni todas las palabras del mundo
Podrán convencerte que yo
En el infinito universo del deseo
No te concibo sin mí
Sé que cuando tu te decidas
Y no sabemos aunque los dos
Nuestra vida no podrá ya ser jamás la misma
Una lluvia de estrellas caerá
Y ya nunca más vas a separarte de mí, ooh Morelia
Oriéntame como debo hacer
Para fingir que no me interesas,
Muéstrame Dime de una vez,
Cuanto lleva aprender A ser feliz
Enséñame a poder negarme
Y mantenerme a distancia
Como vas a hacer para esconderte de mi, ooh Morelia
Ni todas las palabras del mundo
Podrán convencerte que yo
En el infinito universo del deseo
No te concibo sin mí
Sé que cuando tu te decidas
Y no sabemos aunque los dos
Nuestra vida no podrá ya ser jamás la misma
Una lluvia de estrellas caerá
Y ya nunca más vas a separarte de mi, ooh Morelia
Como vas a hacer
