Changes

Sleeping on the sidewalk in the downtown area is relatively calm and peaceful. The main cathedral, the aqueduct, and the plazas surrounding them are relatively abandoned after 11 PM23:00, and should be quiet enough as long as you do not sleep right along the traffic heavy Madero Street (15D). Asking people where a good place to sleep outside for the night might even get you a place to stay. Outside of downtown are many abandoned buildings (often without roofs) and open spaces along the main roads that are perfect for sleeping. Parks or government land within the city are also viable options. Many people camp, squat, and build on government land in Morelia, often in incredibly creative ways. Neighborhoods of these houses, known as casitas de carton (cardboard houses) can be found throughout the city.
