China to be honored guest at 35th Festival Cervantino in Guanajuato
The World's
Largest Catwalk in San Luis Potosi
On
August 1st, San Luis Potosi
will host the largest fashion show in the world featuring the designs of Pineda
Covalin, a Mexican fashion house renowned
worldwide, which will showcase colorful silks with rich native symbols and
ethnic pre-Hispanic prints as well as contemporary Mexican expressions. San Luis Potosi aims to
be part of the Guinness book of World Record with its more than 656-foot long
catwalk that will feature more than 80 models at the Center for the Arts, an
ex-penitentiary converted into a school for arts. The fashion show will benefit
a non-profit organization for children with cancer.
In the capital city, you can enjoy the Festival of Lights, a remarkable show of
light and sound that paints and transforms the fascinating facades into a
monumental canvas; a must see show that takes place every weekend at the
splendid historic center.
San Luis Potosi, a magnificent colonial city,
capital of the state of San Luis
Potosi, is becoming a key cultural center - a place
with an important artistic proposal - that is taking advantage of the exquisite
baroque and neoclassical architecture of its historical downtown area to create
outstanding performances.
The state of San Luis Potosi
is also well-known for its exuberant natural resources such as, waterfalls,
caves, rivers and lagoons - a perfect place for eco-tourism and adventure; and
the house of an unusual and magical town: Real de Catorce,
an old mining town full of legends and ancient structures. There are plenty of
hotel options in the capital city, one of the most interesting being the
Palacio de San Agustin Museum Hotel, where the Order of the Augustinians used
to host their guests - it is truly a lavish trip back in time!
