Marvel at the splendor of its elegant colonial buildings, streets and flavors that live up to its nickname "City Of the Angels".
A legend is responsible for this beautiful city being known as Puebla de los Angeles.
The wide staircase of Atlixco has always been one of the must-see spots when visiting the Magic Town because it is the most popular way to visit the Ex-Convent of San Francisco and start the ascent to the San Miguel hill.
On December 20, 1965, the first Atlixcayotl Festival was held in this stairway, which would become, over the years, the largest festival in the State of Puebla, bringing together its ethnographic regions.
However, since 2020 these wide stairs have a new image and now you can see and admire a spectacular mural of the Charro de a Pie and the China Atlixquense; Xóchitl and Tonatiuh, the representative couple of the traditional Huey Atlixcáyotl Festival and the Calabaceo Dance.
Full of color and large in size, this work was created by four local artists, headed by Juan Manuel Martínez Caltenco.
It was an odyssey to paint each one of the steps, not only because of the position and location, but also because of its 12 meters wide and 68 meters long, a marvel that was possible thanks to the group of artists Tlacuilo.
The wide staircase of Atlixco has 85 steps. And the macromural is 12 meters wide by 68 meters long.
The characters are the Charro de a Pie and the China Atlixquense; Xóchitl and Tonatiuh, the representative couple of the traditional Huey Atlixcáyotl Festival and the Danza del Calabaceo.
Address: C. 11 Sur 101, Centro, 74200 Atlixco, Pue.
