Agua Linda, Jalpan Puebla - a number of years ago as I traveled through this region, I noticed women waiting for a bus heading into this area wearing the costume from the Naupan region of Puebla. On this trip in April 2007 I stopped and asked a number of people if there were still traditional costume being worn here. They sent me to this home where the woman was indeed wearing the costume from the Naupan region. She is one of the last people in the village wearing traditional costume only the oldest generation continues to use traditional textiles.
