Álamos: A Colonial Silver Town in the Dry Tropics

Imagine exploring a 17th-century colonial silver town in Mexico, learning about its culture and traditions, as well as its ancient cemetery that comes alive for the Day of the Dead. 

You are invited to join us on a vicarious trip to Álamos, Sonora, located in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains, from the comfort of Tubac Presidio's historic schoolhouse. 

This talk will explore this unique historical and natural landscape where the Sonoran Desert meets the sub-humid tropical south of Mexico, as well as identify the links between southern Arizona and Álamos.
