Parroquia de la Purisima Concepcion

Plain-spoken colonial church anchoring Mineral del Chico's small mountain centre

The parish church stands beside the main plaza, giving Mineral del Chico its centre of gravity. It is not a grand cathedral, but its pale stone, simple interior, and mountain-town setting make it the right place to start walking.

Come by on a weekend morning if you want the town at its liveliest. The plaza outside fills with food stalls, families, and visitors heading onward to the mines.
