And one of those places that for anything in the world you should stop visiting La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, a traditional village of Nayarit that you fall in love at first sight, embrujándote with your spell.
The village got its name from an immense tree of Huanacaxtle in the form of a cross that is erected at the entrance. Legends tell that hundreds of years ago an indian woman decided to burrow under the tree and this, in tribute and homage to the martyr, made to grow by the work of a prodigy divine, their stems in the shape of a cross. Over the years, the legendary trunk has become a symbol of the place and today is revered as a bulwark symbolic of the identity of its inhabitants.
For generations, this picturesque town of the Riviera Nayarit has preserved its customs, most deeply rooted: the fishing, one of the economic activities prevailing, remains still today the main breadwinner in most families and it is practiced with the same techniques of yesteryear. However, thanks to the construction of the Marina of Nayarit , the village has acquired an air of modernization particular and today is one of the tourist areas most coveted by lovers of contact with nature and with the history of the pre-columbian civilizations.
On your visit to The Cross, as it is called by its inhabitants, you can admire amazing scenery: from the arrival of the fishermen at the dock after a hard day at work with their boats full of specimens ready to cook up magical sunsets in which the sun draws hundreds of colors over the sea to the fall behind the horizon. Definitely, from here you will take away unforgettable memories. I admire the more traditional postal of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, on your trip to Nayarit!
