 Saltillo is situated on one of the main routes between the northeast border and central Mexico, and is the oldest city in the northeast of the country. The name Saltillo comes from a small waterfall that was located on the site of the actual city.
In the late 17th century, Saltillo was considered to be the capital of an area that stretched from northeast Mexico, all the way to the polar regions of North America. The legacy of the city's importance is its charming colonial architecture. Saltillo is famous for its sarapes (throws), which were introduced to the area via Tlaxcalan natives.
Saltillo now enjoys its beautiful colonial center, with a diverse economy that has led to the emergence of an industrial area on the outskirts, as well as extensive suburbs. |
