Saltillo, Capital city of Coahuila State, Mexico

Located at an elevation of 1,560 meters in northeastern Mexico, Saltillo extends across a valley surrounded by mountains in the Chihuahuan Desert region.

Alberto del Canto established Saltillo in 1577 as Villa de Santiago del Saltillo, making it one of the oldest colonial settlements in northern Mexico.

The city maintains strong manufacturing traditions, particularly in the production of colorful striped sarapes, which local artisans weave using traditional methods.

Multiple automotive manufacturing facilities, including General Motors and Chrysler plants, form the backbone of Saltillo's industrial employment sector.

The name Saltillo originates from a small waterfall that draws water from a natural spring located within the Parish of the Holy Christ.
