Ocotepec, Cuernavaca, Morelos

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Ocotepec is a small town to the north of the city of Cuernavaca, but within the municipality of Cuernavaca. The name Ocotepec means "on the hill of the ocotes, or Montezuma pines." It is located only minutes from the center of Cuernavaca on the highway that leads to Tepotzl n. The community is divided into four neighborhoods based on the major churches in town, which is an organization left over from the colonial period. The four neighborhoods are Candelaria, Dolores, Ramos and Santa Cruz, each with its own patron saint and feast day. This organization is part of the reason why this community has managed to maintain more ancient traditions, a number of which date from the pre-Hispanic period. Ocotepec is one of the most traditional communities in the municipality of Cuernavaca. On the main road through town, there are dozens of stores specializing in handcrafted clay, stone and wood pieces, as well as rustic furniture. Among these shops are restaurants and food stalls specializing in barbacoa and cecina.
