Morelia boasts an enormous amount of art and crafts, ranging from textiles to copper and all the amazing representations of Day of the Dead. Patzcuaro is famous for it's lacquerware and even if that isn't your thing, you have to marvel at the skill of these artists who daily produce such marvelous and unique pieces. The House of the Eleven Patios is not only an interesting building but also a very convenient way to see artisans at work across a variety of skills. And it is only when one returns to the larger cities that one realizes that most of the prices are an absolute bargain.

I have a hotel in Patzcuaro (Hotel Casa Encantada) and I always highly recommend to my guests visit Santa Clara. It is a short trip from Patzcuaro. The various shops and workshops plus the museum are well worth the visit. It is fabulous to see some af the artesanos create the beautiful copperware. It is one of the best places to buy your gifts for the folks back home to let them know you were thinking of them. WHY? There are great gifts in every price range from earrings to gorgeous vases and they pack without trouble and do not break transporting them. Make sure you make time to see this lovely Pueblo and it's artesania.

José Maria Morelos, of course, is the city’s namesake. Before this 1828 acknowledgement of his stature as a revolutionary hero, it was Valloladid. We went first to his birthplace, the Casa Natal de Morelos, a modest house in which his mother had only a single room. More impressive and informative was the Casa de Morelos, the more elegant house a couple of blocks away, that he inhabited in the years before the revolution. This museum was filled with information about Morelos himself and about Colonial Mexico and the Mexican Revolution. The artifacts were interesting, but the thorough explications are the real draw. Walking through and reading the placards was like getting a semester-worth of Mexican history in two hours.
