 San Pablo Ayutla Mixe is the first large town on the way up from Mitla. It takes about 3 hours from Oaxaca City to get there |
 Since my last visit the town has made a number of improvements including a re vitalized down town area, paved roads and new buildings every where. |
 Mixe dress in this villages is basically a rebosos worn in the typical distinctive fashion and a contemporary blouse and skirt with an apron. |
 The town is situated on the side of a mountain, in most directions the views are spectacular. |
 The traditional costume of white muslin and machine embroidery and lace the costume is now used only for fiestas and festivals. |
 The reboso worn on the head this is a traditional form and continues in many Mixe villages. |
