About
Mosmostenango:
Momostenango has a true
small-town feeling, where even in a week or two you will naturally get
to know the neighbors. It's the county seat and cultural center for
the "municipio" of Momostenango, which is recognized by
anthropologists for the strong roots of its Mayan culture. The region
is known for its soap, its ponchos, its woolen blankets and rugs, and
its hospitality. Stores around Guatemala call themselves "La Momosteca"
to convey a sense of that hospitality. Marimba, drumbs, chirimia,
violins and guitars are among the most usual instruments played in the
region. The candles and the pom (incense) are used a lot for
celebrations such as the wajxakib batz, the center of the Mayan ritual
year.
