Year after year our guests at Hotel Mansion Iturbe visit this important faire – a real showcase of Mexican folk art. Don’t miss the 49th annual National Cooper Faire, August 9-17! The local artisans have been working copper since before pre-Hispanic times – even before Don Vasco de Quiroga got there in the 16th century. The basic tool of the artists of Santa Clara de Cobre is the humble hammer. Their constant companion is the high-fire forge.With these two ancient implements, folk art of international acclaim is produced, little by Little.
