During the Christmas holiday season of 2002, my brother and I decided to take a little trip to Mexico. Saltillo was a great choice because it is only a couple of hours from the border and we found it to be quite charming. Saltillo is the sister city of Austin, TX, and the Capitol of Coahuila Mexico. Saltillo Tile and the world famous Saltillo Sarape are what the city is known for |
