Coroneo?

Our little trip to Coroneo turned out to be to San Luis de la Paz. I had seen signs to Coroneo in our recent travels but got confused and thought it was on the road to Bernal and the airport. We headed east and then northeast out of town. No one seemed to know where it was. Finally, as we entered the quota (toll road), I asked the toll guy, and he said he thought it was south of town. We eventually found it on the map, and it was indeed in the opposite direction and on the opposite side of town. We decided to keep going to the next big town north, San Luis de la Paz for lunch. We had never heard of it, but you never know.

On the way we stopped at San Jose Iturbide, a little town north of Querétaro that is starting to attract some foreign industry. It was market day, but not much was going on. There was not even much traffic.

We found out why we had never heard of San Luis de la Paz. Not much going on their either, and there are few restaurants for tourists, and the few that are there were closed. We ended up having a torta in a little place, and spent $38 MX for both of us. It would have cost double that in Querétaro, and double again in Atlanta. C asked the girl who served us what the town did (what kind of artesanias, industry, etc.). Apparently, they don’t have a specialty. After a brief look at the church (proudly built in 1908) we headed back to Querétaro. Maybe we will get to Coroneo today.
