Coahuila, Federated state in northern Mexico

Coahuila extends from the Rio Grande to the Sierra Madre Oriental mountains, encompassing desert landscapes in the west and mountainous terrain in the east.

The Spanish established their first regional settlement in Saltillo during 1575, bringing Tlaxcala Indians from central Mexico to interact with the Chichimec population.

The state maintains strong wine production traditions, with Casa Madero representing the oldest winery in the Americas, producing wines and brandies in southern regions.

The state contains 38 municipalities and connects to Texas through border crossings at Ciudad Acuña and Piedras Negras, facilitating international commerce and travel.

The Cuatro Cienegas Nature Reserve spans 200,000 acres, containing hundreds of freshwater ponds that support multiple endemic species in this desert environment.
