...and the wines in this region have improved greatly in the last 20 years.

 

That's good to know ...

 

What I don't know is the name of the town, but moved it up, back on to the radar screen.

It's been over a week with no input so I guess this is the end of a great run of photos. RIP.

Mexico or further south

[stuny]

Doug reminded me that there was still an open puzzle out there. Please ignore my submission. I'm sure Doug will give us a hint or two.

[dcoombs]

Thank you, Stuart.

 

As a further hint, we are in Provence. The wine hint above should help narrow things some more.

it does not appear to be Chateauneuf du Pape ...

 

Sablet?

Very good! Sablet it is. Between the Vaqueras and Gigondas wine districts, just west of Vaison la Romaine. Been there? Your turn.

No, I have not been there and it was not so easy to find it as these villages all look more or less the same, but the wine hint helped.

 

ok - then I suggest to proceed with the photo that Stuart has posted. I already have made a guess ...

[stuny]

Andreas -

 

It is in Mexico.

[a.j.z]

I was just guessing based on the Architecture, colors and the plants but I have not clue where it is.

[stuny]

First hint: It is not near any ocean or sea.

[stuny]

Second hint - This is one of several cities in the area that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site

[stuny]

Third hint: It's one of several cities in the region that are UNESCO World Heritage Sites

[stuny]

Still nothing? How about some more images? With these, plus the information above you should be able to get it. We know:

 

• It's in Mexico
  
• I'ts near the gographic center of the country
  
• It's not near any ocean or sea
  
• It's an UNESCO World Heritage Site, as are some of the other cities near it.

Yikes! How about another hint? the city of about 80,000 is named for both a saint and a Mexican independence hero.

Just trying to help in keeping this wonderful thread alive:

 

San Miguel (de Allende)?

 

(If correct - I'm sorry, I have nothing to show at this time, especially not after these great photographs - so anyone with a fitting picture please jump in...)

Edited November 17, 2013 by stefans4
expanded to full name of town

[stuny]

You are correct. Who wants to go next?

[stuny]

Anybody have one to submit?
