Templo de la Valenciana "San Cayetano"

We managed to get to the site of La valenciana mine only to find it closed due to a change of ownership. Disappointing considering all we'd heard about it and the fact that it produced (produces?) 1/5 of the world's silver. Still, we walked around the village near the mine, reluctantly toured a mining museum (my mom and defected from the terrifying underground tour), and walked to the nearby church. Here are some photos from the entrance to the church, which was a beautiful burnt orange color.
