Zacapoaxtla Square
There were no margaritas, no tequila, and much less mariachi music during the first Cinco de Mayo of 1862, when the Mexican Army defeated the French invading troops in the state of Puebla. The heroic Indians probably drank the green yolixpa, a local alcoholic drink that includes more than 20 native herbs, and they listened to sones to celebrate their victory against the powerful French.
The Zacapoaxtla area hasn't changed that much in the last 150 years and you can still get the colonial feel as you tour beautiful Pueblo State. Take a moment and enjoy the afternoon in one of the local cozy cafes.
