I live in a town, but it is an urban town, because it is growing up too much in the last years.
I live in the center of the town, close to the main church is called ‘Capilla de San Miguel Arcángel’, the good is near to looking to buy anything, as the market, or supermarket, or other stores. This place is located to the northeast of the Hidalgo state in Mexico. It is not far from the capital of the state, who is a 2-hours drive.
