The
word Navolato is derived from the term "Navo" meaning "prickly pear".
This is the youngest Municipality in the State. Its creation came about
because of a decree issued on August 2, 1982.
There is a number of old
colonial type homes that are of great interest. 29 Kilometers further west
from Navolato is the enticing Bay of Altata with soft surf and very fine
sand, here one can enjoy boat rides and swimming. The beach of El Tambor is
15 minutes away from Altata, it offers high san dunes and strong surf. Of
great interest are fishing camps of "El Castillo", "Yameto", Dautillos",
"Las Aguamitas", and "El Tetuan". Vegetable packing plants earmarked for
exporting constitute an interesting activity as this is a predominantly
farming region. The "Sugar Cane Fair" is celebrated in Navolato during the
mont of May.
