Que bonito es el Quelite
About 30 miles northeast of Mazatlan lies the picturesque colonial pueblito of El Quelite.
The beautiful streets of this village are invitingly strollable and litter-free, mostly cobbled and lined with subtropical trees, shrubs, and colorful flowers spilling onto the sidewalks.
This Colonial town, with monuments such as Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Temple it's ideal for
the so called rural tourism. It is famous for its cheeses.
Awash in color, the houses are painted bright hues of yellow, green, red, the complete rainbow.
This town is so lovely that it inspired Francisco Terriquez to write the famous Mexican folk song,
Que Bonito es El Quélite (How Beautiful is El Quelite), which is well known throughout Latin America, and can be heard playing regularly throughout the town, a demonstration of how proud the 2,000 people who call this pueblito home are of their village.
