El Oro de Hidalgo
Designated a Pueblo Mágico by Mexico's tourism authority, El Oro de Hidalgo is a small colonial-era town in the State of Mexico whose architecture bears the visible influence of foreign miners who came for its gold and silver deposits from the 17th century onward. The mines are now exhausted, but the town draws visitors to its historic centre, the man-made Presa Brockman lake, and the pine forests of nearby Rayón National Park.
