Another beautiful religious construction that the visitor should know, within the same city of Tlaxcala, is the Parroquia de San José, built around the 18th century, whose façade is decorated with colorful stipe pillars and hundreds of bricks and tiles.
Referring to the climate of Tlaxcala, it should be noted that during the day, the sun is generous but in the afternoons, the weather becomes rather cold, so we recommend that visitors always carry a sweater or jacket.
It is enough to analyze the name of Tlaxcala, which in the Nahuatl language means "place where tortillas abound", to realize its wealth and gastronomic tradition, so you should not miss the famous mixiotes, tamales and the popular party bread, whose colors and messages are very diverse.
In the city you can find handicrafts from all over the state, whose diversity is very high. The jorongos, sarapes and other garments of Santa Ana Chiautempan are outstanding and in demand throughout the country.
