El Quelite, Sinaloa, Colonial village in Mazatlán Municipality, Mexico
El Quelite features cobblestone streets lined with houses painted in yellow, green, and red colors, complemented by subtropical trees and flowering plants.
Founded in the 1800s, El Quelite developed as a rural settlement in Sinaloa, preserving its colonial architecture and traditional Mexican village structure.
The village maintains traditional practices such as tortilla making, local cheese production, and regular Ulama matches, an ancient Mexican ballgame combining multiple sports.
