The federal Secretary of Tourism, Mrs. Gloria Guevara, attended a ceremony in the town of Tlayacapan, where at the atrium of the XVI century church and monastery she delivered to the town’s Mayor the certificate designating it the 42nd Magic Town in Mexico and second in the state of Morelos.
With the participation of hundreds of people, Mrs. Guevara enjoyed the music of the brass band founded in 1860 in this town well known by its traditional pottery, and shared a meal, consisting of prehispanic dishes, with the State Governor and most of the towns’ population.
Tlayacapan’s attributes for the designation were the archeological sites in its vicinity, its church and monastery, the ability of its potters, the brass band, that has won twice the International Brass Band Contest at Munich, its beautiful surroundings, its traditional food and most of all its people’s hospitality.
Tlayacapan lies twenty miles east of Cuernavaca and is worthwhile visiting.
