I will be driving from Albuquerque to San Miguel de Allende in central Mexico. It will be just me and another woman. I have never been to this part of Mexico and was looking for some advice on what cities we should stay in and where along the way we can fill up the gas tank. I understand there are stretches (like I-10 through western Texas) where there are little or no amenities. We are considering traveling from Albuquerque to Chihuahua in one day, Chihuahua to Aguascalientes the next day and then onto San Miguel de Allende on the 3rd day. Also it should be noted that I speak limited Spanish and my travel companion speaks no Spanish at all. We will be traveling to visit a friend in San Miguel and bringing a lot of ceramic artwork such as large vases with us. Neither of us have done a road trip through Mexico before although we have traveled by road through parts of the US. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
To clarify, the ceramic work we’re taking is my work to be exhibited in my friends’s gallery. I juest mentioned it so that it is clear that it is two women with little knowledge of Spanish traveling with a lot of expensive artwork. Sorry I didn’t initially give more details.
