Under the auspices of the Institute of graphic arts of Oaxaca, the library for the blind "Jorge Luis Borges" project has been developed, says Freddy Aguilar, especially since Oaxaca is a State with numerous cases of blindness and there is very little attention from the education authorities.
One of the oldest houses of culture in the country. It was founded in the year of 1971. It is located in the former convent of our Lady of the seven princes or Los Angeles.
In the year 2007 was inaugurated the Textile Museum of Oaxaca in what was part of the former convent of San Pablo dating back to the 16th century, but which suffered severe and consecutive damage by earthquakes that shake the city.
At the top of the Oaxaca mountains, in one of the most important festivals of our culture, in the early evening, with a clean and clear sky, with a beautiful Moon big and generous, in the center of a pantheon, I had the opportunity to speak, perhaps the most moving talk about our old grandparents, that I have been able to pronounce in my life.
Imposing northern mountain range that ruins parallel to the Gulf of Mexico from the State of Nuevo Leon. Huge wall that retains the moisture and storms and hurricanes that ply the Gulf.
The Sierra Norte is home to many peoples of various cultures who have managed to live in balance with nature for thousands of years. The Zapotec, chinantecos, mixes and mazatecos have managed to develop their cultures in different ecological niches offered by this mountain range.
From heights of 10 thousand feet above sea level, down to 5000 on the central valleys or to the plains of the Tehuantepec Isthmus. Whether high peaks covered with coniferous forests, or deep canyons with or semi-tropical climates or wonderful valleys between the planes.
In general people living on this sierra, regardless of their ethnic origin, have a homogeneity in terms of their ways. As hermetic as the Mixtec people, but more negotiators and social. Perhaps because of their diversity and closeness with other peoples, they possess a superlative sense of identity and territoriality. The Sierra Norte Zapotecs, love parties and traditions, maintain before their brothers from the valleys and of the isthmus, a subtle but deep mystical sense of the world and life.
The Sierra Norte is perhaps the place where there are more wind bands in the State of Oaxaca. In effect, starting with the Mixe people, that considered themselves unconquered, they have an extraordinary sensitivity for music. From the earliest age, children learn the "tune" in the band, which all towns usually have.
The most important towns of the Sierra Norte are: Ixtlán, Villa Alta, Totontepec, Guelatao, Tlahuitoltepec, Calpulalpan, Macuiltianguis, San Francisco Cajonos, Talea, Zacatepec, Ayutla, to name a few. Districts comprising in its entirety are Ixtlan and Villa Alta, but touching part of the districts of: Cuicatlán, Choapam, Etla, Mixe, Tehuantepec, Teotitlan, Tlacolula, Tuxtepec and Yautepec.
The northern Sierra of Oaxaca is an exceptional place. A real niche, not only ecological and natural beauties, but mainly by its human and cultural wealth. But one of the unsurpassable "jewels" of this corner of the State is without a doubt Capulalpam de Mendez.
The Sierra Norte, known as La Sierra Juarez, is a mountain range that runs parallel to the Gulf of Mexico, from the State of Nuevo Leon and as it narrows forms the waist of the nation in Oaxaca, almost joins with the Sierra Sur, mountain chain which runs down from Alaska parallel to the Pacific Ocean and in Oaxaca is called "Mixtec knot".
In the heart of the mountains of Oaxaca, it is one of the most significant populations of the state, in terms of music and culture. Pulsating center of the most intimate affairs of Mixe peoples mixes and holder of the heritage and tradition.
Our old grandparents kept intimate dealings with the land. For them the earth was a living being that felt and loved them. They maintained a mother-children relationship. As all living beings, earth has parts more sensitive than others.
Unquestionably that in the valleys of Oaxaca emanates from the depth of its bowels, an energy that radiates to all living beings and connects with the sky. Ancestral divine and mystical bridge. Oaxaca is a place where earth and sky kiss. Hierve el agua is an essential place for this love affair between man, earth and the universe.
In the heart of the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca, there is a small town where the West Sierra Madre joins the Easter Sierra Madre, also known as "Mixtec knot".
Oaxaca is the spiritual reserve of Mexico. Not only because its mountain ranges have been a natural wall against the invader and the foreign predator.
Or because the treasure of our most essential identity is kept in its bowels.
At the top of the Oaxaca mountains, in one of the most important festivals of our culture, in the early evening, with a clean and clear sky, with a beautiful Moon big and generous, in the center of a pantheon, I had the opportunity to speak, perhaps the most moving talk about our old grandparents, that I have been able to pronounce in my life.
