VISITING MÚZQUIZ, COAHUILA.
Good evening weeks ago I posted a picture of the first airplane that landed in Múzquiz, Coahuila, a visitor requested more information and pictures of Múzquiz. Today we are posting more information and some interesting pictures of Múzquiz.
I am not from this town, but my paternal grandparents and my father lived there during my father’s childhood. Back on 1955 we made a trip to my home town, Nueva Rosita, Coahuila, we went from a walk to the Múzquiz water falls, a walk that I will never forget. On 1988, I took my children and my mother, I was already a widower, and we went for the same walk. I wanted my children to see the water falls, something that was no longer the same as in 1955.
My children loved the town, and we often hope to visit that town again. We also crave a salsa that we tried there called Salsa Kikapú, The name came from the name of a clan of Indians Kikapus that lived in that region. They made this salsa and sold it to the local markets. My father once told me that they used to hire the same Indian Kikapu to guide them every time they went hunting in that region. And my father recalls that that Indian always asked one of my uncles for “butter”.
During the trip I made with my children and mother we saw this big tree right in the middle of the street. As the town grew people kept that tree and built around it. Local people call it SABINO GORDO (FAT SABIINO).
These pictures I obtained via Google Earth.
The first picture is of old houses. The second one shows a beautiful landscape of the mountain. And the third one is the fat tree we love so much.

Hola,
Me da gusto ver fotos de mi pueblo natal. Acabo de regresar the Mexico esta semand pasada. Tuve la oportunidad de ir al “Grito de Independencia.” Se me habia olvidado cuan patrioticos son los mexicanos. Tengo varias fotos que tome en Muzquiz. Dejame saber si estas interesado. Te las ofresco a cambio de que pongas los creditos apropriados si decides usarlos.
Someone from this town stole my heart, please give it back you know where to find me!
