Trip Summary
Mexico 2007 By lilplasticgirl
From Austin, Texas I drove to Laredo and boarded a bus to Monterrey. After spending a few days in Monterrey (a bit too richy & industrial for me), I headed south to Real de Catorce. Real de Catorce was an old mining town in the 1700s that was on the verge on becoming a ghost town after the mine dried up. It has since experienced a resurgence in population, now reaching barely 1,200 residents. It's 9,000 ft up in altitude, set in a valley and is absolutely breathtaking!
