Parras is located 120 kilometers directly west of Saltillo, Coahuila's capitol, and the birthplace of the Parras Summer Co-Director, Dr. Francisco Xavier de la Cabada. 190 kilometers east of Parras lies Monterey, a metropolis in the neighboring state of Nuevo León. From the freeway that runs between Saltillo and the industrial city of Torreón, drivers see a narrow gap in the mountains, through which a small highway connects Parras with the rest of México, and as travelers on this highway draw near to Parras, the cacti of the desert are replaced by vineyards and nogales (pecan trees). Before encountering the town, travelers pass the tall gates and thick adobe walls of Casa Madero, the oldest winery in the Americas, established in 1597.","Page language":"en","Page license":"CC-BY-SA-3.0","Page title":"Summer of AT in Mexico, 2006","Page views":"27","Page year":"Sunday, 01-Jan-06 00:00:00 UTC","Modification date":"Friday, 28-Nov-25 13:15:08 UTC"}
