    Sep

    This is a cultural festival involving music, dance, gastronomy and handicrafts.

    Some history and meaning

    Huey Atlixcayotl  are words of Nahuatl origin meaning “Great Atlixco Fiesta”, and it can rightfully be called so as it gathers the eleven ethnographical regions of the state of Puebla in an unparalleled event.

    Celebration started becoming a tradition since 1965 but it was in 1996 that the festival was named State Cultural Heritage by the State Government, thus giving it an added value thanks to its cultural importance and value.

    Although the most important event takes place the last Saturday of September, celebration starts a week before with the arrival of all the ethnics from all over the state.

    One of the most highly-anticipated activities in the program is the election of the “Xochicihuatl” and her “Xochipilme” (Flower Woman and Little Flowers), a pageant grading not physical beauty but a series of features such as the most authentic dress and the explanation of their community traditions.

    Born in the central region of Mexico, but having lived most of her life in the beautiful state of Nayarit, Angela fell in love with this area’s landscapes and its natural beauty. With the firm conviction from an early age that she wanted to be part of the way tourism was managed in her state and the country at large, she studied a degree in Tourism Management and Development at the Technological University of Nayarit. Immediately following her studies, she immersed herself in the world of hospitality in Puerto Vallarta, an iconic city within Mexico known for its wide range of hotels. Working within this field, she took various positions, which allowed her to develop many skills such as teamwork and great service as well as to learn about the standards of operations at a large hotel complex. After taking a break from the hotel industry for personal reasons, her path met Mexico Boutique Hotels, a company that closely matched her personal convictions, which involve presenting Mexico to the world as a brand that guarantees memorable experiences thanks to its natural beauty and the excellent hospitably of its people who by their very nature provide great service and are excellent hosts. Angela currently serves as Chief E-Concierge and Travel Designer for the aforementioned company, offering travelers the opportunity to live a different experience every day, where attention to details make a huge difference.
