About
According to tradition, the Virgin appeared to Juan Diego on Tepeyac hill in 1531 and left her image on his cloak. The original hangs in a modern circular basilica completed in 1976, beside the older Baroque basilica, and each December millions of pilgrims arrive for her feast day.
Best time to go: Visit on a weekday morning and ride the moving walkway that passes beneath the image of the Virgin.
