Mineral del Monte

Mineral del Monte, also called Real del Monte, is a mountain town in the central Mexican state of Hidalgo. It's known for its rich mining past, which is chronicled at Mina de Acosta and Mina La Dificultad. Both mines have museums tracing their history, plus original 19th-century machinery. Dating from the 1850s, the Panteón Inglés is a cemetery with the graves of English miners and other town inhabitants.
