San Andrés Tuxtla, Colonial tobacco center in Veracruz, Mexico
San Andrés Tuxtla extends across volcanic terrain at 1200 meters elevation, bordered by the San Martín Tuxtla volcano and Tuxtla River.
The settlement emerged in 1530 when indigenous Ixtlecos groups established residence in the valley following volcanic activity in the region.
The Cathedral of Saint Joseph and Saint Andrew, constructed in 1870, stands as the central religious structure where November celebrations feature reed bull figures.
The municipality connects to major regions through its rail terminus, highways to Veracruz and Minatitlán, and a local airfield for transportation.
The region maintains its position as Mexico's primary producer of premium tobacco, with numerous family workshops specializing in handcrafted cigar production.
