The story

Festival Cervantino Barroco in San Cristobal de las Casas

The Festival Cervantino Barroco is a smaller-scale cultural event in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, oriented around baroque-period music and performance in the spirit of Guanajuato's much larger Festival Internacional Cervantino. Available reporting on its recent programming, exact dates and organizing body is limited, and this profile is written with that limitation in mind rather than presenting unverified specifics as confirmed fact.

San Cristobal de las Casas carries a colonial architectural legacy that few Mexican cities can match: baroque churches, arcaded courtyards and civic buildings raised during the Spanish colonial period, all preserved in a highland setting over 2,100 meters above sea level.
