Arteaga is a great Magical Town located east of the capital of Coahuila, Saltillo.
It offers a surprising combination of arid and green areas, which can look almost like desert mirages.
These landscapes are characteristic of this region of Mexico.
When visiting Arteaga you will also be charmed by its beautiful forests with crisp, clean air, as well as a mountainous streak which runs its course by this lovely destination.
As you make your way through its peaceful cobbled streets you will have a chance to enjoy the architecture of its temple, dedicated to Saint Isidore the Laborer.
It is common to find an array of artisanal shops where you can find fruit preserves and liqueurs which have given fame to this northern town.
These products are made with apples, peaches, or other fruits, and many other spices cultivated in nearby gardens.
