Actopan National Mole Fair
Unsweetened chocolate, chillies, onions, tomatoes, garlic, coriander, cinnamon and many other ingredients are ground up and slow-cooked into a rich tar-coloured sauce. Add meat and you have mole, celebrated and devoured at Actopan's National Mole Fair in San Pedro Actopan.
Try San Pedro Actopan's own fortifying almond mole before you try the other variations sold in the restaurants and at the many stalls across town.
Don't miss the live music, theatre shows and spectacular Voladores de Papantla - acrobats from the region of Veracruz who fly around a giant pole at a great height.
