Google lists 628,000 (August 2010) references for Catemaco, of which 569,000 are in Spanish and a whopping 61,800 are in English - while the much bigger and economically more important city of San Andres Tuxtla rates 400,000 references but only about 34,200 in English.
But Catemaco is definitely moving up in the world. The same figures for 2006 were 161,000 references for Catemaco, of which 96,600 were in Spanish and a comparatively enormous 47,800 were in English.One would think that Catemaco festers with English speakers. But far from it. All the non - Mexicans (gringos) in Catemaco would not even fill one of the smaller restaurants on the Malecon, and their touristy faces are almost invisible among the Mexican hordes.
Interestingly of those 628 thousand current Google references, 190,000 include brujos but only about 700 mentioned brujo in 2006.
