On Tuesday, April 30, the second public hearing was held in the Municipality of Sombrerete, focusing on the theme "The Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, Cultural Route: World Heritage and Development." The hearing was organized by the Government of the State of Zacatecas through the Regional Institute of World Heritage in Zacatecas. Architect Alan Murillo Murillo, Mayor of Sombrerete, thanked Governor Alejandro Tello Cristerna for holding the hearing in his municipality.

Likewise, Dr. José Francisco Román Gutiérrez, Director of IRPMZ (Institute of Heritage and Heritage of Zacatecas), noted that four of the thirteen sites registered within the CRTA of the State of Zacatecas are located between Sombrerete and Chalchihuites, and emphasized the importance of holding these meetings to generate new development opportunities through heritage within the community.
