Museo del Paste
Small museum tracing how the Cornish pasty became Mexico’s paste, with tastings available on site.
The Museo del Paste occupies an old mining building near the entrance to Real del Monte and tells how the food traditions of Cornish miners evolved into the local paste. The fillings range from the traditional potato-and-beef to Mexican-style mole and chili chicken, and to sweet rice pudding. The exhibition is modest in size and works well as a stop before tasting your way through the town’s long-established eateries. Every October the town also hosts an International Paste Festival. Admission is very cheap.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun about 10:00–18:00
