Cuatro Cienegas, Coahuila -
Mexico
To cross into its frontiers, only two things were
important to
the people of this area: its history
and the natural and
marvelous work of art painted
over its territory.
Although
the Jesuits built various missions here as far back as the
sixteenth century, it was not until 1800, after repeated
rejection by the tribes of the region, that town was
definitively founded. The name of this illustrious city. Cuatro
Cienegas de Carranza, refers to the marshes that were formed by
the abundant springs arriving from four key locations and it
being the birthplace of Venustiano Carranza, the Leader of the
Constitutional Army.
From
this, the name Cuatro Cienegas was
adopted for the municipality.
What you will see and experience when you visit this very
special place is a small gift that I made with my own hands.
When you explore the significance of what it holds and see what
is within your reach, you will surely appreciate it much more.
But most importantly, when you show respect for the elements
that give life to both you and this work, I will feel a peace
and secure that I can give you more places like this.
