RE: Excellent link to events in Guanajuato
HERE'S KAREN'S RESPONSE ABOUT THE DISFRUTA GTO MEET UP GROUP. ERICA, SHE ASKED ME TO POST THIS HERE BECAUSE SHE WASN'T SURE SHE COULD FIND YOU ON THE MEET UP PAGE.

Hello -

It is unfortunate that you are disappointed with the site and its lack of ease in understanding the events and where there are.

It is a compilation of the cultural events in GTO, whose descriptions and listings are written by the companies producing the events and/or by the venues themselves and hence primarily in Spanish. As they are written by Mexicans, I assume the writing is correct. Often in Google Translate and the like, the translations are literal - word for word - which is not always an accurate translation, but hopefully you can get the gist.

Addresses on the site, when listed, are actual addresses of the venue. Yes, often Google Maps simply doesn't have them listed, guess these Callejones makes it hard for them to map. Additionally, addresses often aren't used by locals, for example with Teatro Juárez - everyone knows it as being in front of El Jardin, and therefore I have listed it as such. I don't think many people can give me the proper address of that theater.

Guanajuantenses are very friendly and amable. I am sure they would be helpful if you can't find a venue, to help point you in the right direction. Along with the handful of Tourist Kiosk booths in town, who supply maps. GTO is a fairly small town and hopefully you discovering where the venues are will happen soon. It would be a shame if you were not able to take advantage of the great cultural offerings here, many which are free or very very inexpensive, because of a language barrier. I do hope your frustration does not impide your enjoyment of this wonderful city and all it has to offer.
