San Pedro El Grande is a small Otomi village in the Tenango district. It is located at the end of the road out of Tenango. There was just one woman left wearing the traditional costume on a daily basis. The multi colored blouse a wool wrap skirt and a quechquemitl. She was unable to show me the quechquemitl. The town has many paved paths and is progressing little by little. The craft based industry is being developed and many women there work at embroidery daily.
