    Why Pachuca?

    Maybe it’s because they’re inherently creepy or maybe it’s because I’m from one, but my recent trip made me realize that I love mining towns. Pachuca is the capital of the mining state of Hidalgo, about two hours north-east of Mexico City depending on traffic. We visited Mineral del Monte, a small town just outside the… Read more
