A local map showed ruins at ElCedral, so I drove there expecting ruins and was disappointed with the one little old rock & concrete building that we couldn't go in.

A very small piece of the old ruins is all that is left. It's so small, it's easy to miss. Surrounding the ruin is a quaint rural Mexican village, and is a better sight. more
