City is a colonial gem, home to 300,000 people and located in northern
Mexico. Capital of Zacatecas
state, the city was built between two hills (El Cerro and La Bufa)
at an altitude of 8,200 feet.
Its splender is due to its role in silver production. The mine
at Cerro del Grillo has guided tours showcasing how miners worked
during the Colonial era. At night, the mine serves as one of the
country's most unusual discos.
