every cobblestone street are bright, colorful homes that always
appear freshly-painted and very well cared for. It comes as
no surprise, then, that the small country town of El Quelite
is so well-known for its cleanliness and its friendly inhabitants.
Just a 45 minute drive northeast of Mazatlán, you'll enter El
Quelite through the attractive yellow |
|
arch that welcomes visitors. Named from the Nahuatl word "quilitl,"
which means "herb" or "vegetable," El Quelite is a farming town.
The inhabitants are obvious green thumbs, with lush vegetation
and cheerful purple, red and orange flowers everywhere. El Quelite
also offers all tourist amenities, including a hotel. Take Highway
15 north until the marked turn off to El Quelite. |
