When he was a child, he had carried stones out of the mine by wheelbarrow. Of course after this happened, suddenly, nephews and nieces showed up for the original legal owner and now the property is being legally fought over. The town has two beautiful hotels, a couple of restaurants, and about 50 foreign artists making their home here. The original owner passed away, without leaving a will, or any descendants, so the property was possessed by another local under the "squatters law", who without any legal right says it is now his property. It was a school for gold smiths and silver smiths, founded in the 1700´s. Apparently the very first University in Mexico was in Pozos Guanajuato. I recently took a trip out to Pozos Guanajuato, a small day trip about an hour from San Miguel de Allende Mx. In one of these communities we talked with another old gentleman, the now care taker.

We learned that Pozos Guanajuato was once a really wealthy mining town and had a population of more than 50,000 people in the 1700´s and 1800´s. It may just be local gossip, and fun to listen to these old legends.What is known is that Pozos Guanajauto has become a popular place for foreigners. This old gent was around 80 years old, and he said he was still one of the very last workers in the mines. Pozos is becoming popular because it is a quaint, peaceful, and authentic old Mexican village, which has had very little changes over the centuries. It really is a quaint place to visit, just be sure to take sturdy walking shoes, because you may want to go down one of the mines.
