Guadalupe Yancuictlalpan (usually referred to as simply Gualupita) is a small community, which is part of the municipality of Tianguistenco, Mexico State. The name Yancuictlalpan is most likely derived from the Nahuatl word yancuic, which means "new" and the word tlal.li which means "land".[1]
Located 60 kilometers from Mexico City, and 30 from Toluca. The community is famous for the wool knit and woven items that are made by the local artisans. Each weekend takes place a market of textile handicrafts in the main street.
