Mexico Handcrafted art, South Region takes us on an adventure through the southern reaches of the country to explore a fascinating region that has become a melting pot for three different cultures and which stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico, from Veracruz to Guerrero, from Oaxaca and Chiapas to Tabasco and Campeche, and from Yucatán to Quintana Roo. It is also a place where the past has left its mark for posterity. Mexican culture is expressed every day in the way people dress, eat and celebrate, as well as in the colors and textures they use. All of them are handmade. This book offers readers a fascinating insight into this cultural fusion: Architectural Wonders looks at religious and civic constructions to take in the eternal majesty of the pyramids and ceremonial centers and the picturesque charm of colonial cities; the beauty of handcrafts that have withstood the test of time, sometimes incorporating European influence and sometimes remaining unchanged; the splendor of local attire that underlines ethnic identities and expresses people's character and conception of life, and finally the gastronomic delights of sweet and sour, the universe of flavors and fragrances that only the country's finest cuisine can invoke.
