Pichataro has some o the most beautiful cross stitched embroidery in the region. During the festival I was able to take these pictures of some blouses that were entered in the contest. In addition the street was filled with vendors and many were selling textiles. The towns has many carved doors in it, some are extraordinary for their detail and creativeness.
