Mexico is folklore, tradition, culture, history, nature and gastronomy.

All these attributes are everywhere in our country, but there are some towns that consolidate this richness on a cosmogony that makes it unique, and for that they are known as Pueblos Mágicos.

On October 11th. 2018, San Pedro Tlaquepaque is named Pueblo Mágico, in recognition of the beauty of its historic district and its long handcrafts tradition.
