  El alfarero de Uayma: El señor Emilio Espadas es un artesano que trabaja con el barro de forma manual. Vive y trabaja con mucha dedicación en Uaymá, Yucatán. Su trabajo es casi una rareza en esta zona, debido a que antiguamente se solía ver más alfareros. Actualmente la mayor parte de los artesanos producen artículos de piel o prendas bordadas. Su taller es sencillo, ni siquiera hay un letrero. Aunque, como todos en el pueblo lo conocen, es fácil encontrarlo. Con un trato inigualable, Emilio Espadas te recibirá, antes de que te des cuenta ya estarás comprando. Lo visitamos en Octubre, justo unos días antes del día de muertos o Hanal Pixan. Fuimos en busca de platos o jarritos de barro porque necesitábamos decorar nuestro altar de muertos. Él nos recibió con mucho gusto y nos platicó un poco sobre su labor. ¡Incluso hicimos un video! https://vimeo.com/536439083 Al visitarlos, casi olvidamos a lo que íbamos ya que todo era muy bello, acabamos comprando algunas cosas. Y es que una v...

The reserve protects nearly 60,000 hectares of forests, mangroves, and beaches. This is where the Mexican flamingo lives and reproduces, as well as another 250 species of seabirds. This reserve is located on the eastern end of the Yucatan coast.
