Stop At: Catedral de Parral (Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe), Ignacio M. Altamirano, Centro, 33800 Hidalgo del Parral, Chih., Mexico
The Cathedral of Parral is a modern building which stands out for its two rectangular towers topped by a triple window on each side.
Above the atrium there is a large circular stained glass window and on a bridge that joins the towers there is a sculpture that represents the appearance of the Virgin of Guadalupe to Saint Juan Diego.
It was a unique stone construction around the middle of the 20th century. The original was built in 1680 and, in 1902, it was demolished to build a new building that also had to be demolished as a result of the damage caused by the catastrophic flood of 1944. This is how the current temple began to be built as of March 1, 1946.

Stop At: Museo Mina la Prieta, Calle Estano S/N Col. Fátima, Hidalgo del Parral 33839 Mexico
A black silver stone found in 1631 by Ensign Juan Rangel de Biezma immediately resulted in the founding of a city, the opening of a very rich mine and the birth of a legend that ensures that the military man actually saw a girl on the hill A very beautiful brunette with whom he fell in love and who for that reason named the mine as La Negrita, which would later lead to La Prieta.
The site was active for 345 years until the water that ran over the stones made its exploitation impossible. Today, the mine has been turned into a museum that aims to publicize the mining activity that generated the boom in the region during colonial times.
During the visit, it is possible to obtain information about the extraction techniques of the minerals and go back in time to understand what life was like for the people who worked there.
