Plaza Principal de Morelos
The heroe of the Independence, Jose Maria Morelos, inspired the name of this municipality. Notable is the fact that this town not only derives its living from agriculture, livestock and industry, but also from tourism. The reasons are obvious. Its natural tranquility is enhanced by the proliferation of clear springs like Ojo de Agua, Acequia de Nava and Pozo del Molino, among others.
To comfort the spirit, it has the Santa Rita de Casia church and the chapel of the las Carmelitas Descalzas Convent. To satiate the palate, there is goat, tripe and sweet caramels with walnuts. For these reasons and others, its clear why Morelos is the preferred destination by many tourists from southern Texas, especially during November with the parades on horseback and in June with the patron saint festivals.
