Coahuila de Zaragoza is Mexico's third-largest state, a vast stretch of northern desert and mountain along the Rio Grande border with Texas. It blends colonial wine country in Parras de la Fuente, the turquoise pools and unique desert ecosystem of Cuatro Ciénegas, the cool pine forests of Arteaga, and the industrial and cultural cities of Saltillo and Torreón.
