  • Zacatecas.

Outpost of the Spanish colonial period, last stage before the wide open desert of the north, Zacatecas has kept its colonial character, with the white-washed houses and sumptuous palaces. Enriched by its silver mines, it is endowed with a splendid churrigueresque cathedral and convents, now housing several interesting museums. Such as the Mask Museum: the largest collection in the world (4,000 pieces) to help you learn about popular Mexican beliefs, dances and legends. You should also visit: la mina del Eden, exploited from 1586 to 1964, and a part of which was converted to... a night club!
