Santa Eulalia sits 10 kilometers from Chihuahua City at an elevation of 1,697 meters, featuring narrow streets and historic buildings from its mining past.
Spanish captain Diego del Castillo established the settlement in 1652 after discovering silver deposits, leading to the area's transformation into a significant mining center.
