San Sebastian del Oeste is a traditional Mexican puebla where people can take part in the history, culture, ecology and tranquility of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range.
Following the cobble stone road, you will discover this 17th century mining town nestled in a high valley. Founded by Spaniards, the rustic appearance of the white houses with their red teja roofs has the feel of ancient times. The village is surrounded by a full variety of vegetation. Coffee, served at the hacienda is grown and fully processed by local inhabitants
Founded in 1605, San Sebastian del Oeste was one of the gold and silver mining centers of Mexico. At one time a provincial capital of 40,000 people, you will find it peacfully quiet with only about 600 people living there.
