This is the first of several posts dedicated to a trip to Tlalpujahua last weekend. There are a lot more photos in this set than I want to post at once or can edit fast enough. So, I’m going to push these out over several days.
The festival was for the 81st anniversary of the failure of the holding ponds from the Dos Estrellas Mine that devastated the historic town. Our trip included the festival, walks around the town, a visit to the gallery and studio of a recognized artist and a visit to the restored facilities at the mine. Most people go to Tlalpujahua for Christmas ornaments at Christmas, but the truth is there is a lot more to see and you can miss the seasonal crowds if you go at other times. And yes, they have the ornaments all year.
