Escobedo, Coahuila - Mexico
Every time you come to this town of
yesterday,
founded in 1869, don't forget to do the following:
take
a deep breath upon entering and then a leisurely stroll
around the streets. Knock on the doors, which are always open;
talk with the people about anything and everything: and
attentively observe everything around you.
Finally, during your next visit,
definitely take note of one thing: Escobedo is never the same.
The aromas will now seem familiar.
You will no longer need to knock on the doors, nor will
you need to see to feel. If your
view previously was filled with the sowing of the beans and
corn, now it will be with oats and squash. If you had the
experience of bathing in the Salado River, now you will have the
opportunity to enjoy and cleanse in the Ojo Caliente of Estacion
Hermanas spring. Finally, if you only know the name of the
municipality, now you will know the work of the independent
thinker Mariano Escobedo. |
