Durango and the surrounding area will be familiar to those who have enjoyed classic Western movies in their time. More than a hundred movies have been filmed here, with Durango second only to Hollywood for the number of productions.
However, the amount of exposure the area has received gave rise to the misconception that Mexico is barren and rocky. In reality, even Durango has forests and one of its lumber producers is a supplier to Ikea as part of a sustainable logging scheme.
Once you get over the thrill of the poncho and sombrero in the film sets, then you will be able to appreciate the elegant colonial architecture of Durango, which shares its name with the Spanish town because the founder Don Francisco de Ibarra hailed from the Iberian location. |
