In recent years,
PACHUCA
, the capital of Hidalgo state, has burst out of the ring of hills that once hemmed in the town, its expansion fuelled by the desperate need to move industry away from Mexico City. By Mexican standards, though, it remains a fairly small city, its centre easily walkable and full of colonial mansions built on the profits of the rich silver-mining country all about. Stick around just long enough to see the photography museum, but it is worth venturing to nearby towns where the mining heritage is more apparent and the clean mountain air provides a refreshing break.
