Espacio, fiesta y turismo en Tlacotalpan, Veracruz

Tlacotalpan, Veracruz's historic monuments zone, exemplifies how cultural heritage and tourism intersect to shape spatial dynamics. The study reveals that the annual festival honoring the Virgin of Candelaria transforms the area into a tourist space through processes of patrimonialization, spectacularization, and mercantilization. These elements, rooted in architectural preservation efforts and jaranera culture, create diverse, negotiated experiences while integrating local traditions into global market logic. The research highlights how this space produces power relations around cultural assets, demonstrating the complex interplay between tradition, heritage, and tourism.
