One of the most interesting places I have gone to, is my parents' hometown. My parents are from a small ranch in Guanajuato, Mexico called Trancas. In this small ranch, they have an hacienda. Haciendas, in my eyes, are the Mexican equivalent to the castles in Europe. These haciendas would be home to wealthy families, and people of importance. Hacienda Las Trancas is the most interesting place I have been to because of it's history. There are many legends that say that the Hacienda has a secret golden treasure hidden underground. Many have been in search of it for over 400 years, but no one has been able to find it. There are also stories of vary many historic people who have inhabited the hacienda, especially during the time of the Mexican Revolution. Every time I visit, I can't help but wonder what famouse historic figure stood where I would be standing. I can't help but wonder how much more different the land used to look before other people moved into the area.
Hacienda las Trancas is now a hotel/spa. It bring many people from around the world to experience a little piece of Mexico. I feel a great pride knowing that my roots come from a small town like Trancas.
