The Mexican federal government recently declared Coatepec near Xalapa, Veracruz a “Pueblo Magico” (magic village).And here I thought beautiful downtown Catemaco was the Pueblo Magico.
A little research discovered that there are 18 other declared magic villages in Mexico, including Taxco, Real de Catorce and Tequila.
Nevertheless that declaration was a slap in the face of Catemaco where everybody knows the “REAL” magic is for sale.
So the Veracruz governor involved himself and proclaimed he will initiate the process to also declare Catemaco a “Pueblo Magico“, and perhaps start his own chain of pueblos magicos in Veracruz.
Is this true magic, or what?
