Itinerary

San Luis Potosi

1 h 30 min

Let's have a sample of pre-Hispanic flavors for breakfast. In the middle of the city, a railway line runs along an avenue. There, on Sundays, the most representative flea market of the capital city of SLP is installed: the rebound or better known as "las vías".We will try a sample of the original flavors of the Huasteca Potosina region. Of Mesoamerican origin, the main guest is corn in a great versatility of forms. Bocoles, tamales, tacos, sopes, enchiladas all combined with sauce, cheese and meat. A breakfast of champions: coarse and nutritious.

After breakfast it is time to visit a clandestine distillery. El Gran Tunal is an alchemy project for spirits from the potosino desert. Go hand in hand with Tomás and Francisco, our hosts. Two unique distillates from the region stand out: a Güisqui (Mexican for whisky) made from ancestral corn and a prickly pear gin.

A little bewitched after drinking these desert alchemies, we will visit the “Mercado República”. Traditional markets are the most authentic cultural sample of a destination. The people, smells, colors, movement, chaos, noise, herbal medicine, handicrafts and the deepest-rooted traditions of the true inhabitants of this colonial city.After touring its folkloric corridors, tasting the famous “enchiladas potosinas” and having the opportunity to buy a souvenir, our tour ends at the meeting point; same where we began our culinary adventure.
