Puruándiro
The city of Puruándiro is in the north of the Mexican state of Michoacán. It is located at 20.08806°N, -101.51556°W. The population is 70,571. It was founded by Juan de Villaseñor y Orozco in 1522.

The wooded main garden has a kiosk that indicates that it was founded in 1565, but no records to corroborate that.

It is believed that Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla spent a night in Puruándiro during his revolutionary movement and that in 1965 President Gustavo Díaz Ordaz paid a visit to commemorate its founding. But again, there is a lack of information to support these facts.

Near the church and the center portals are the "Lázaro Cárdenas" and the "Morelos" garden. The latter holds a bust dedicated to José María Morelos, an insurgent soldier in the Mexican war of independence. In addition to a second effigy commemorating Benito Juárez, former president of the nation.

The "Los Arcos" thermal waters spa is one of the most notable tourist attractions in town.

Its name purépecha is Purhuandirhu which means "place of water where the fire rests" or "place of hot water" since the city enjoys abundant hot water that comes from the mantles surrounding aquifers. Many people take advantage of this water (which is rich in minerals such as sulfur) to bathe, wash clothes or simply relax by soaking in it.
