In the purépecha language Mintzita means ‘heart’ or ‘breathing’, and it is also the name of a spring that flows seven kilometers south-west of Morelia, in a place where – according to legend – an indigenous princess (by name, like Mintzita) hid from the Spanish conquerors to, in the shelter of its waters, weave a dress different from all that was seen and which, over time, would become the typical dress of the Michoacán women.
