Oaxaca stimulates your senses. Primary colors with all the hues and variations explode in front of your eyes on walls, textiles, vehicles, clothing, the painter’s canvas. The aroma of roasting corn, goat buried for barbecue and mole coloradito simmering in the pot tickle the nose and stimulate your desire to taste and savor. The cacaphony of barking dogs, cackling guacalotes, and honking buses provide a backdrop to the oompahpah of the village brass band and church bells. Oaxaca is alive with creativity and energy. Here is an introduction to Oaxaca for you — some of my favorite photos that I have taken for you to enjoy as you delve into this blog and get to know the Oaxaca I love.
