Writing corrected about my hometown  !!



        The town of Coscomatepec is situated at the central part  of  the state of Veracruz. It is a mountainous zone. The name of this place comes from Nahualt “Cuezcomatepec” that is divided in two words.
“Cuezcoma” that means “Troje” (place where seeds and fruits are kept) and “Tepetl” that means mountain. Those words together mean “Cerro de la troje” but with the time this word has changed and now it is writring Coscomatepec.

Coscomatepec has three types of weather.From June to September, it is wet and rainy. From October to January, it is foggy and it is dry from February to May. This kind of weather hepls to variety of plants grow.

Coscomatepec is a quiet place in which you can take a break outside the stress of the city.




    The typical food that you can find is “Barbacoa”. It is made of meat of sheep with consommé. It is very delicious because it has a spicy flavor  and it is one of the most popular dishes. Also you can taste other types of Mexican food such as tamales, mole, mixiotes, gorditas de frijol, pozole among others.





     The typical candy you can found are“Panelitas”. They are small triangle shaped candies made of coconut, peanut, lemon or pineapple with a lot of sugar and milk.

     In Coscomatepec is very common you found a lot of bakeries because the bread is deliciuos. It is cooked in a stone oven with wood. 



     There are many parties and celebrations throughout the year but just two of them are notable. These are the most important celebration:
