Real de Catorce en concierto, en la inauguración del Festival Rulfiano de las artes, en Sayula, Jalisco. 11 de mayo 2019.
Real de Catorce (or "Villa Real de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción de Guadalupe de los Alamos de los Catorce," to give the town its full title) is located 284km from San Luis Potosí off federal Highway 57. At 2,756m, the air is crisp and the Sierra Madre majestic.
Real de Catorce blends in to the rocky crags of the high canyon in which it sleeps.
You approach by road through the 2.3km-long Ogarrio tunnel, which connects the town with the other side of the Sierra. It's only wide enough for one vehicle at a time, with a passing place in the middle; men stationed at each end control the 'traffic'. Some larger buses cannot get through, so you may have to hop on a minibus at the tunnel entrance. As you enter the tunnel, mine-shafts lead off into the mountain on either side; close to one there is a little shrine where a lone candle seems always to be burning.
Once out the other side, and your eyes adjust to the brilliant light, you feel as if you had just taken a journey back in time: the uneven stony streets are lined with derelict, shuttered, roofless mansions and, further out, crumbling foundations and broken stretches of wall. There are no modern shops, no supermarket, and until the recent shooting of the movie 'The Mexican' (with Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt), the entire town had only one telephone line.

' ... una música lenta y azul
recargada en la tibia quimera
despidiendo un anhelo que va en autobús
un rasguño en la media
navegando la espera
la viuda del blues. '

"The treasure which you think not worth taking trouble and pain to find, this one alone is the real treasure you are longing for all your life. The glittering treasure you are hunting for day and night lies buried on the other side of that hill yonder."
When B. Traven wrote those words of the Sierra Madre mountains in his 1935 novel, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, he was speaking of the gold the adventurers sought. But the real treasure of the Sierra Madre is a fragile indigenous culture, a window open to the natural world of preColombian times, that has been preserved for centuries high in the isolated mountain ranges of the Sierra. The Huichol Indians, overlooked and dismissed in outsiders' lust for the hidden gold and silver mines of the Aztecs, offer us an ancient wisdom that has evolved from thousands of years of total immersion in nature.

Real de Catorce, SLP, México. 2015
A fussy and worry-prone protocol droid, C-3PO was cobbled together from discarded scrap and salvage by a nine-year old prodigy on the desert planet Tatooine. Young Anakin Skywalker had intended the homemade droid to help his mother, Shmi. With limited resources, the droid that Anakin built was truly remarkable. It lacked an outer shell, though, and Threepio had to live with the indignity of being "naked," with his parts and wiring showing.

Real de Catorce, Mexico. It used to be a ghost town. Magical, beautiful and mysterious. Now there are quite a few little hotels and shops and it's lost some of its magic. Some.
