During the Porfiriato it was a prosperous mining center, the extracted metals of which were exported to Europe; It preserves historical monuments and has a beer bath.
Guanajuato is a charming state, not only because of its mining history, colonial architecture, and because San Miguel de Allende is recognized worldwide as the best city to visit, but also because there is a ghost town that has become a magical city. It is Mineral de Pozos, founded in 1576, which during its heyday in Porfiriato had more than 360 mines from which gold, silver, bronze, iron and mercury were extracted and exported to various European countries.
In 1926, the demise of this center came due to a flood that collapsed the mines and killed thousands of workers. Under the claims for damages, the companies left the premises and left the infrastructure as the final payment.
The workers took doors, windows and dismantled wells, there it began to take on the panorama that it preserves to this day; Residents left the city due to a lack of work and fewer than 200 remained on the site.
Due to its characteristic natural landscapes and historical monuments, Mineral de Pozos has been the setting for national and international films such as: Las Cenizas del Diputado (1976), Eréndira (1982), A Walk in the Moon (1987), The Penitent (1988), to mention a few.
Located just 115 kilometers from the capital, Guanajuato, this magical city is a great option to stroll its cobbled streets, enjoy a sunset amid landscapes of nopales and cacti, and try the city's best escamoles and chinicuiles.
