The quaint village of San Bartolomé Quilana abuts the mountains on the south side of the Tlacolula valley. It and neighboring San Marcos Tlapazola seem lost in time. We will travel the road between them, doubtless catching sight of local women in their distinctive dress tending their flocks or working the the fields. In San Marcos, hikers can visit the workshops where red pottery is produced and others where local women embroider intricate designs on aprons, blouses and shirts. After the hike, the group will stop in Tlacolula to visit the church, where the statues, paintings and other ornaments in the elaborately baroque side chapel were restored in 2011. Then we will adjourn to the city market across the street for lunch at any of several food stands there.
