This was our fourth visit to Tequila. We stayed at the Hotel Plaza Rubio - a hidden gem of a hotel. 3 block walk to the central plaza where all the activity occurs. The hotel had a narrow entrance off the street but once inside it opened up to a very large courtyard and car parking.

It was a 3 1/2 hour drive from Lo de Marcos to Tequila. We arrived in time to walk around the town square.

 |
| A nice collection of cars and trucks. |
 |
| agave pinas...8 tons a day are processed. |
 |
| an oven where the agave pinas are steamed |
 |
| after the steaming is completed and they have cooled, the pinas will be manually emptied from the ovens on to the conveyor belt |
 |
| Every barrel is full of tequila....and this is the small factory. |
 |
| the agave plant in the foreground is 1 yr old. The agave plants must be 8 to 10 yrs old before they can be harvested |
