San Sebastian is one of the Magical Towns within the area contemplated in the recent denomination of origin of the raicilla. A drink that has been built traditionally and that tastes like Jalisco and its land of wild agaves.

The fog is a blanket that rests on this locality, although the wind and the sun's rays usually dissolve it among the branches of the pines and fruit trees that are guests in the area. Within the gastronomic offer of this municipality, we find Jardín Nebulosa, an innovative tourist project that will spice up your visit so that you can have a complete experience and at the same time support the producers of the area.
