Ausente
Ausente is the second
largest city in San Doloroso
with a population of approximately six hundred and fifty
thousand people. Situated in the east of the country,
just north of Sierra Sangrienta, Ausente is a city
in long term decay. Founded in the sixteenth
century and for a time the most prosperous city in
Central America - owing to the wealth extracted from the
mines of nearby Cerro Pobre - it is now a fading and
largely forgotten relic of colonial times.
Things To Do
The mines
of Cerro Pobre are of particular historic interest.
Organised tours are available most afternoons but they
are not for the faint-hearted. A visit to the Royal
Mint in the city centre gives further insight
into the tragic history of this once famous city.
