It is bordered by [Calcahualco](/source/Calcahualco%2C_Veracruz), the state of [Puebla](/source/Puebla), [Ixhuatlán del Café](/source/Ixhuatl%C3%A1n_del_Caf%C3%A9) and [Federal Highway 180](/source/Mexican_Federal_Highway). The oldest church in Huatusco is dedicated to [San Antonio de Padua](/source/Saint_Anthony_of_Padua) with a height of approximately 20 meters. A nearby hill, called "Cerro de Guadalupe" has a church on top of it, where every year on December 11 and 12 [Catholic people](/source/Catholics) hold religious festivities. In these days, the priest celebrates with a mass, and after that, people stay around the hill to have a picnic. Economic activities in Huatusco include growing coffee, sugar cane and several fruits. Huatusco is a small quiet town during the week. Important geographical features in the vicinity include Cerro de ecatepec, Cerro de Elotepec, and the [Sierra Madre Oriental](/source/Sierra_Madre_Oriental); the highest mountain in Mexico, [Pico de Orizaba](/source/Pico_de_Orizaba) is also visible from the town. Huatusco is sometimes called the city of pianos ("La Ciudad de los Pianos"), because having a piano and playing it used to be common within the city. The suffix of Huatusco, "de Chicuellar" allegedly comes from a story where a man wanted to buy the town to industrialize it, but a poor farmer named Chicuellar paid a large amount of money to prevent that from happening. From 1902 to 1953, Huatusco was served by the [Córdoba and Huatusco Railroad](/source/C%C3%B3rdoba_and_Huatusco_Railroad) [narrow gauge](/source/Narrow_gauge) railroad. Manuel Chacón, commander of the municipal police department, was assassinated in May 2020.[1] ## Notable people - [Salvador Colorado](/source/Salvador_Colorado) (1951–2021), professional baseball player ## See also - [Mexico portal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Mexico) - [Chipilo](/source/Chipilo) - [Italian immigration to Mexico](/source/Italian_immigration_to_Mexico) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Aparece ejecutado comandante de la policía de Misantla, Veracruz"](https://www.proceso.com.mx/nacional/estados/2021/1/29/aparece-ejecutado-comandante-de-la-policia-de-misantla-veracruz-257271.html). *proceso.com.mx* (in Spanish).
