Mexican Ghost Towns

Among my favourite places to visit in Mexico are its atmospheric ghost towns. Many of them date back centuries and harbour the remains of handsome Spanish colonial architecture along with abandoned gold and silver mines on their outskirts. Some have now become popular with adventurous travellers, prompting hotels and restaurants to open up on their narrow cobblestone streets. However, there is still a sense of timelessness and mystery about these crumbling old mountain towns. My Mexican Ghost Towns collection contains images captured on visits to four of Mexico's best known ghost towns. Click on the titles below to view individual photo galleries.
