Pueblo Mágico
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Programa Pueblos Mágicos ("Magical Villages Programme") is an initiative led by Mexico's Secretariat of Tourism (SECTUR), in conjunction with other federal and state agencies, to promote a series of towns around the country that offer visitors a "magical" experience – by reason of their natural beauty, cultural riches, or historical relevance.
- A "Magical Village" is a place with symbolism, legends, history, important events, day-to-day life – in other words, "magic" in its social and cultural manifestations, with great opportunities for tourism.[1]
The programme was launched in 2001 and, by 2007, a total of 32 towns and villages in 24 different states had been awarded the title pueblo mágico.
