A group of Mexican pasty makers visited their Cornish counterparts on Monday to learn more about their shared industry.

A delegation of five people from the mining town of Real del Monte travelled over 4,500 miles for the week-long Cornish visit, which included a trip to the Crantock bakery near Newquay.

As well as learning about the production processes and baking techniques, the group also tried their hand at crimping Cornish-style.

Tracey Weeks, operations manager at Crantock's said: "I think they were surprised to learn how fast the team on our crimping line work. We hand-crimp up to four pasties a minute on average, and their technique was different too as the Mexican pasties are typically smaller than a traditional Cornish pasty."
