Churros Nochistlan

Efrain Jimenez, director of the Federation of Zacatecan migrant clubs, recently shared this nicely made travelogue about Nochistlan. The video was made by David Herrera, General Director of "Mexico de mis Amores", a television program that celebrates Mexican culture, geography, and traditions. The video is in Spanish without subtitles, but has some very nice shots of Nochistlan, Zacatecas, and the Mexican culinary street gem: churros. The narration colorfully weaves together descriptions of a typical Sunday morning in rural Mexico - from the mass in the cathedral to the sweet treats waiting outside to the characters that make those traditions possible. Run time is about 4 minutes.

I visited Nochistlan a few weeks back with Efrain. I'll be going back that way not before too long, partly to find some of these churros.
Enjoy, Matt
