San Antonio Arrazola Mexico

It was in Arrazola, as the place is commonly known, where the tradition of creating them in wood originated and they were given a Zapotec imprint, which increased the cultural and artistic value of the pieces. The alebrijes are so important here that they have their own fair: the Expo Venta Artesanal. This takes place at the beginning of April, as a celebration of the "cradle and world capital of alebrijes", where all local artisans have the opportunity to show their best work. Do not miss the museum dedicated to Manuel Jiménez, who was the creator of the first craft pieces of this type in the city, as well as the teacher of the entire new generation of artisans who continue his legacy today. arrazola alebrijes How to get to Arrazola Located about 30 minutes from Oaxaca de Juárez, the town is easily accessible and you have several options to get there.
