Named a Pueblo Magico in 2001, Real de Catorce is a small Mexican town whose principal business is tourism despite once being a popular silver mining town at the turn of the 20th century with a population of 40,000 - the last census numbered its full time residents at around a thousand now.

Originally discovered in 1683 by European conquistadores, Alamos resides in the state of Sonora close to the border with Sinaloa. The town grew as a silver mining colony - much like Taxco in Guerrero - and by the 18th Century it was one of the most important industrial centers in North East Mexico. However, once it rich silver and gold deposits started to wane, the town saw many residents flock to other cities with stronger economies and by the end of the 19th Century Alamos was virtually abandoned. It's only been in the last fifty to sixty years that it's rebuilt its population to any semblance of its former glory days.
