With the Conservatorio de las Rosas, this is a pillar of Morelia’s cultural life. Housed in an old Carmelite monastery dating from the 17th century, it’s a blissful place to soak up the musical spirit of Mexico. The pleasant cafe near the entrance is a good staging post, or check the website to see what performances are coming up.
Save time for other nooks and crannies too, taking in the ancient wall paintings, enormous mirrors and cell-like monks' quarters.
