The colonial town of Concordia, a short distance off of the Durango highway (Mexico 40), is a side trip on the Copala tour route. Concordia is a town of furniture makers which sell their wares in small stands on the way into town.
Concordia also offers an abundance of locally made pottery in the pre-Columbian motif. There is an old style town square, built in front of the church, which is a great place for photos of the family. The church, is over 350 years old making it the oldest in the state of Sinaloa. This area produces a lot of Mangos which are for sale everywhere along the road, and they are delicious. If you are on a tour you will probably be taken to the nearby mineral springs where the local women do their laundry, just as they have been doing for many generations.
Update: 9/14/2006
Changed the latitude and longitude of Concordia to reflect its placement on "Google Earth" and other global mapping tools. The earlier coordinates placed it somewhat east of Rosario, when it is actually northeast of Villa Unión. Also updated the internet adress of the official Concordia website.
