Aguascalientes_

In Aguascalientes, fairgrounds buzz with the energy of Mexico's Feria Nacional during spring, drawing digital nomads to its blend of colonial plazas and modern cafés amid a mild highland climate. Reliable fiber internet and proximity to Guadalajara's tech scene make it a smart base for remote work, with low living costs leaving room for exploring nearby hot springs.

Its name means "hot waters" and originated from the abundance of hot springs originally found in the area. Aguascalientes was historically known for its former railroad and textile industry, as well as wine making, an industry that remains today. Aguascalientes is also well known for its San Marcos Fair (Feria Nacional de San Marcos), the largest fair in Mexico and one of the largest in Latin America. Later in the colonial times, Pedro Almíndez Chirino was the first Spaniard who entered the territory, perhaps by the end of 1530 or the beginning of 1531, following the instructions given by Nuño de Guzmán. It was in order to be in the territory that is presently the state inhabited by Chichimecas, the so-called Guachichiles, that the conquistadors built several forts or presidios.
