Angahuan

After being completely destroyed by the Parícutin volcano, a new village was built in the distance. Lava rock is the main building material there. Soft rock is especially well suited to for carving the decorations. The volcanic eruption remains deeply in the memory of the local population and it is visible in the local art.
