shortened to Sinaloa which means a kind of round Pithaya.

was apparently executed here and his shrine is prayed to by
hundreds of people who attest to answered prayers. Hence he
is known as the "People's Saint".

Palomar de los Pobres. The family run restaurant is famous
for its bean soup which is served with every meal and comes
in a ceramic pot which keeps the soup hot.
