Tenancingo Municipality

Tenancingo Municipality is an administrative region in southern Mexico State that encompasses varied terrain across multiple hills and valleys at different elevations. The town center features markets and residential areas with infrastructure that serves a substantial local population.

The municipality received its official status in 1825 when local governance was formally established with leadership positions to administer the growing community. This administrative framework marked the beginning of organized municipal development in the region.

The markets here are a central gathering place where residents come together on specific days to buy and sell local goods and handmade items from the region. These trading days remain deeply woven into how the community lives and connects with one another.

The markets operate on set days and spread across several city blocks in the town center where you can walk around and browse. It is best to arrive early in the day to see the widest selection and wear sturdy shoes since the ground can be uneven.

Artisans here produce rebozos, traditional cloth wraps made using hand looms and techniques that have been passed down through generations. You can find these woven textiles in local shops and markets, connecting visitors to the hands that create them.
