Tolimán is a municipality in the Mexican state of Querétaro. The town is considered as the purgatory waiting room, maybe because of the heat and the rough life. Its streets are always desolated by day. It barely houses about 150 inhabitants, most of them women and children. Rain is scarce and harvests are few with the exception of those vegetable packing companies with transnational capital that take advantage on the weather stability, the scarce frosts and the dry winds. Jobs in the vegetable fields are tough and the salaries are too low to live by. That is why people of this town immigrate to the US, but they do not lose memory or the fondness for their land.
