You step off the air-conditioned coach into sun-silvered fields where rows of blue agave angle toward the horizon. A jimador demonstrates the swift, practiced cut of a coa as the piñas reveal their sweet, starchy core; nearby, the town’s baroque church rises above low clay roofs, its bell steady as a metronome.
