Real de Catorce "the town that refused to die."

On vacation visit Real de Catorce a magical city located in the state of San Luis Potosi Mexico.

Real de Catorce could be justly known as "the town that refused to die." 

In my holiday visit the town of Real de Catorce located in the state of San Luis Potosi and had the best time.

The popular festivals take place in late September and early October of every year, ending with the festival in honor of St. Francis of Assisi and the Dance of the Chichimecas. 

During the Festival of St. Francis, the Ogarrio Tunnel (the only access to Catorce) closes, and the traditional fair, parades, music and dances all take place. The Day of the Dead is also celebrated on November 1st and 2nd at the Guadalupe Cemetery. What is there to do in Real de Catorce? Well there is much to do like visiting the Parish of the Immaculate Conception, the Old Mint, the main square Jardin Hidalge, the Cockfighting Ring, the Plaza de Toros (Bullring), the Ghost Town, and the Cerro Grande.

One must live the adventures on the surrounding trails with a guided horseback tour, and live the experience of a photo safari in the Biosphere Reserve on board one of the "Willys" (postwar jeeps). One must walk through its streets, try the taste of the delicious regional dish Asado de Boda, and of course, buy some of the exquisitely crafted silver.

But above all, one should eagerly experience the energy of a village full of legends and extraordinary landscapes. Along with the warmth of its people, this and much more is Real de Catorce.
