Tula de Allende, Hidalgo

Hidalgo, Mexico, is a state in east-central Mexico known for its diverse landscapes, ranging from subtropical humid forests to high-mountain conifer forests and semi-arid regions. The economy is based on a free market system, with major industries including manufacturing, textile manufacturing, and metallurgy, alongside traditional mining of sulfur, zinc, and lead. While the cost of living can be relatively affordable, with an average monthly cost for a single person around $1,336 including rent, salaries are generally lower than the cost of living. The climate varies significantly by region, with hot, muggy summers and short, cool, dry winters in many areas, and a generally quiet lifestyle, particularly outside of the capital, Pachuca.
