Torreón, Urban center in Coahuila, Mexico

The city stretches along the Nazas River at an elevation of 1,120 meters, surrounded by semi-arid terrain in northeastern Mexico.

The settlement emerged around a watchtower in the mid-19th century, later expanding due to railroad connections to Mexico City in 1883.

The Cotton and Grape Fair brings together local artisans, musicians, and food vendors, displaying regional traditions of Coahuila state.

Manufacturing facilities, universities, and commercial centers connect through an extensive network of roads and public transportation systems.

The city transformed from an arid basin into Mexico's agricultural district through irrigation projects using water from deep wells.
