“Michoacán also offers places such as lakes, beaches and volcanoes; and a delicious gastronomy, a culinary art that served as a paradigm for the traditional Mexican cuisine to receive in 2010 by Unesco, the appointment as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, being the first in the world to be awarded this title,” he said.
