Experience in Aguascalientes, Mexico by Rafael

What is it like to live in Aguascalientes? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

It's very, very tranquil and safe, there aren't big shows or events, but it's a nice place to live. It's the state with the highest density of bars in Mexico. There are good pizzas, there's no traditional food, but what we have is good. The public transport isn't very good, but it's cheap compared to other cities.
