Coahuila

Coahuila has served as a northern frontier within Mexico since the colonial era. This vast northern state spans the Chihuahuan Desert, where wide basins meet the folds of the Sierra Madre Oriental and rainfall is scarce. The Río Grande marks much of its border with Texas, while the protected wetlands of Cuatro Ciénegas form a remarkable interruption to the surrounding desert and support species found nowhere else. Saltillo, the state capital, is associated with the brightly patterned sarape, a textile tradition recognised across Mexico. Coahuila’s roads connect mining towns, cattle country and remote desert settlements, giving the state an unmistakably expansive character.
