• The milpa, a traditional agricultural system in Mesoamerica, which involves the planting of various crops on the same plot, is a powerful symbol of the relationship between nature and humanity.Recently, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) recognized the Mayan milpa as Agricultural Heritage of Humanity. That is why there is nothing better than inviting Talavera Poblana to this feast of life, whose process has in turn been declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (UNESCO) since 2019, and Uriarte as the oldest artisanal workshop in Mexico.
