This time I visited the beautiful magical town of Xico, located in the State of Veracruz. I began my tour in the center of this place and was amazed by the beauty of its streets, walls full of murals and perfectly painted houses. My path took me to the Plaza de los Portales where I had my first meal. There I tried the Xonequi soup, the typical mole of this place and the green Xiqueño, a drink that is only prepared here. I continued the walk in the Parish of Santa María Magdalena, the patron saint of this city. In the courtyard of this building is the dress museum where thousands of costumes made by inhabitants of Xico for this virgin are housed, since during the entire month of July the trousseau is changed daily to wear the 31 new dresses that she receives every year for her birthday. The morichela is a specialty of Xico so do not hesitate to try it, it is a kind of michelada with blackberry liqueur from the region, something innovative that I had not seen anywhere else. If you are looking for love, visit the statue of Cupid and perform the ritual to find it. For dinner, you can't miss the Canarian tamale. My breakfast at the Xiqueño inn was a delight. The snacks are unmissable and if you dare, you can try the drink known as sarsaparilla. As for natural attractions, I visited the Texolo waterfall, one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. The time at which I arrived and the sunlight allowed me to witness how a beautiful rainbow was formed in the pool. I was amazed by this natural spectacle. From there, I went to visit the Totomoxtle Museum, where all the figures we found were made of corn leaves by the artist Socorro Pozos. If you are a fan of fish, at the Paraíso de la Trucha, located in Xico Viejo, they have a trout chicharrón with guacamole that you can't miss.
