San Andres Tuxtla
Since the 19th century, San Andrés Tuxtla in southern Veracruz has been the centre of Mexico's fine tobacco and cigar production, a distinction that still shapes the town's identity. The largest city in the Los Tuxtlas region, it sits in a valley in the Sierra de San Martín — settled during the colonial period after an eruption of San Martín Volcano — and serves as a base for the area's ecotourism, with mountains and the Gulf of Mexico coast nearby.
