San Bartolome Quialana, is a Zapotec town on the outskirts of Tlacalula. It is one of a number of traditional villages in the district. After visiting the market in Tlacalula I drove out the village to document the costume.

San Bartolome is located in the district of Tlacolula. After winding through Tlacolula the town is about 20 minutes on a newly paved road to get there. It is at the foot of the mountains. |
On the way out to San Bartolome it is flat until you get to the town it then starts to wind up into the mountains (Sierra Madre Sur). |
After a while I was able to locate a family were the still wove belts. |
The distinctive bandana from San Bartolome can be seen her in the market in Tlacalula which is every Sunday. . |
Another example of the costume. |
