he village surrounded by valleys, snowcapped mountains, a beautiful lagoon, whic
h together is ideal for a landscaper. Gradually the peaceful streets come alive
with the working people of Galeana. Want to start the tour? How about if we reac
h the main square to hear a bit of history, the square has the name Gen. Mariano
Escobedo, in honor of General and politician, born in Galeana which contributed
to the triumph of liberal reform and took part in the war against the French in
tervention, was also Governor of Nuevo Leon and San Luis Potosi. Galena villa wa
s built in the February 14, 1829 and a city on December 28, 1877. The reason for
its founding was the exploitation of agricultural resources. The people synthes

orchards in its plums, apples and peaches. The "Pope of Galena, is well known an

nvites us to go ... From there, we can observe among majestic trees stands one o
f the most important jewels of the town: the Church of St. Paul the Apostle, a B
aroque building dating from eighteenth century. Something that makes this place
is its pleasant climate, because of its height, it is the municipality with the
