We arrived on Christmas Eve. The town, in the state of Michoacán, was packed with holiday shoppers. Parents were buying their children piñatas. This little girl had two, and put Santa on the donkey.
The colonial architecture has been carefully preserved. Even the Oxxo (a convenience chain) has a discreet sign painted on the wall by its entrance, just like all the other commercial establishments.
Some of the faithful approached the Nativity scene on their knees, to show their devotion.
A street vendor offers a foldup crib made of colorful string. He has a hammock over his shoulder.
