Real de Catorce is a small town tucked away in the mountains of central Mexico. To get there you need to take a small bus through the old silver mine tunnel. There are no taxis, few cars, but many horses. The hotel was small, very clean and private. Our room was completely separated from all the others, very quiet and relaxing. We stayed for a week, and just walked around, relaxed, sketched and took many photos. The hotel owner and staff were very helpful, even giving us a ride to the bus stop very early on our last day there (with our heavy suitcases). There are good restaurants in the town, we tried nearly all of them. This is still a very authentic and safe Mexican town, and so far, not crowded. If you go there in the winter, be warned that it gets cold, especially at night. The hotels do not take credit cards, but there is one ATM in the middle of the town.
