For the second year, we will stay the 2 night downtown in the legendary and historic mining town of Real de Catorce . Join us, as we wind our way through the charming cobblestone road that leads to a tunnel dating back to 1772. This quaint and unique backdrop has been featured in many films, most recently the Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt movie "The Mexican." |
The people here are honest, friendly on its own way and spicy as in most of Mexico. The way they are is rather what we call norteño - northern
people. There are a good number of people living here whose origins are other towns or states and even a small community of people of different
countries lives |

here (Argentinean, Italian, Swiss, Germans, Spanish, and some US). Most people lives from trading goods and services to tourism, goats-excellent milk and cheeses, arts and crafts and some agriculture.
