Mina Dificultad

Finally got to see my first Mexican mine today-Mina Dificultad – actually a German rather than a Cornish mine, but majestic and very impressive. Its now a museum and heritage site and has been lovingly restored.Many of the mine sites seem to be quite manicured compared to ones I’ve seen in Europe.Especially odd and interesting is the pit head/winding gear which is enclosed in a palatial building.It has the feel of a faded palace rather than an industrial building.
