Huejotzingo is a small city and municipality located just northwest of the city of Puebla, in the central Mexico. The settlement’s history dates back to the pre-Hispanic period, when it was a dominion, with its capital a short distance from where the modern settlement is today.
The small city of Huejotzingo is one of a number of settlements along the old main highway between Mexico City and the city of Puebla, and is part of the metropolitan area of Puebla. The town is marked by large eucalyptus trees lining the road and surrounded by large apple orchards. In the distance to the west and southwest, the two volcanoes of Popocatepetl and Iztaccíhuatl can be seen on the horizon. The center of the town is marked by a plaza larger than most in central Mexico, and most of it is shaded by trees.
The city hosts a number of fairs and festivals during the year, the best known and largest of which is carnival. For the six weeks prior to Holy Week, ornamental altars depicting different Biblical passages are displayed in front of homes in the town of Huejotzingo. As the area is known for its production of apple cider, the city hosts a Feria de la Sidra (Cider Fair) each year in September.
