El Nante is a small Otomi community in the Sierra of Hidalgo. Traditional costume is extinct in day to day use in these villages, however the famous Otomi embroidery is done here in many homes.

During a visit to the region in Oct 2006 I found that there were still some women that had the traditional costume; however they were not in use on a day to day basis. The town is located in a bowl and there are many women here that embroidered the traditional figures on bedspreads and other handicrafts.
