When taking a flight to San Luis Potosí you can enjoy different typical foods such as Tenek, a dish that has passed from generation to generation among the potosinos since the pre-Hispanic era, the Zacahuil a dish more of the classic period of Mexico but that conserves in the same way the tradition of the potosino people, the nopales with potatoes of mount, the kid to the shepherd, the enchiladas potosinas, the chocolates and the rich cheese of tuna.

Potosin culture

The state of San Luis Potosí, like all the others that make up the Mexican Republic, has a historical richness that is evident in its customs and traditions more deeply rooted in its inhabitants in communities like the Huasteca, the Middle Zone and some neighborhoods of the capital city.

In the capital of the state perhaps the most representative tradition of the Catholic faith is during the Holy Week the so-called "procession of silence", an act in which more than two thousand people participate and thousands more are the spectators. Each corner or nook is filled with a feeling of mourning and mysticism, the moment is unique, and the streets with little lighting are lit by the candles worn by the penitents of the brotherhoods, characters with robes and hats in the shape of inverted cone, an act of faith worth seeing.

During this week various activities take place throughout the city, from artistic exhibitions to gastronomic samples with foods that are customary during these dates prepared with ingredients such as lobster, seafood and fish giving a twist to the traditional food of the capital.
