Costalegre Jalisco Mexico

I've seen Cocucho pottery in the past in Patzcuaro and heard that they are very cheap if you visit the town - but I was unsure where it was or how hard to get to. The road is between the Paricutin turnoff and Paracho and paved all the way. Very pretty country. There are a few stores on the plaza that sell the pottery but more interesting are the little factories that make them - and sell as well. The place we found was on one corner of the plaza and the family showed us the whole process more or less.

I see some similarities in style between these and many of the pottery in Colima, Colima. It is very interesting.

Thanks for the 'look see' at a sliver of this rich culture.
