PPP data from [http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/weo/2008/01/weodata/weorept.aspx?sy=2006&ey=2006&scsm=1&ssd=1&sort=country&ds=.&br=1&pr1.x=28&pr1.y=13&c=228&s=PPPEX&grp=0&a= International Monetary Fund] , April 2008.]

The village of Sierra Gorda stages a yearly summer music festival called "Festival del Desierto" ("Festival of the Desert"), which attracts thousands of people from nearby towns, and even from neighboring countries such as Peru and Bolivia.La Tercera, February 10, 2008 print edition, page 68.]

"Quantum of Solace"

When recordings for the James Bond film "Quantum of Solace" were made in the village, the mayor of Sierra Gorda, Carlos López Vega, drived with his car onto the set because the crew had not asked his permission to film in his municipality.
