 Main park Melchor Ocampo

Meeting point where there will be a brief explanation about the

Melchor Ocampo park, which is the Espita center where various
festivities and activities of the town take place, the representative of
this is the kiosk that is joined by four paths in the shape of a cross, you
can see the trees around it and there are also benches where you can sit
to rest and contemplate the landscape.
One more fact, Espita, now a magical town, which name is a place with
little water and in the Mayan language "X-Pit Há", just like the Athens
of Yucatan, founded on September 16, 1870, head of 7 police stations
(Nacuche, Kunche , Holca, Xuilub, Tuzik, Xhualtez, San Pedro
Chenchela)
 Culture House
The house of culture of Espita is a venue where
various artistic diciplines are exhibited and practiced
and educational and informative conferences are
given. The building that houses the house of
culture is more than 150 years old and it was
headquarters for more that seven decades of the
manuela olivares basic school. Classes and
workshops in music, dance, theater and plastic arts
are taught there, as well as computering, gastronomy,
English and mayan language courses. They present
plays, art and photography exhibitions and film
screenings.
 San José Parish
The San José church is our main cultural attraction due to its
architecture made in the 17th century as a parish in honor of San
José, a very particular characteristic is that it shared the space with
a ceremonial center of the ancient settlers.
In 1915, in the midst of the revolution and under the state
government of Salvador Alvarado, the church became a military
barracks and religious events were suspended.
An incredible story from this time is that the image of the child
god, patron saint of the town along with Saint Jose, was taken by
the inhabitants of the town who hid it in their homes so that people
could come and pray to him.
 Main Market Juan
José Méndez
Juan José Méndez municipal market. Opened in 1906,
it is an old building with high ceilings, ironwork
balconies and the typical arches that prevail in local
architecture. In addition, it is the best place to eat in

where you will find a different variety of fruits and
vegetables as well as various snacks such as panuchos,
