If you are looking for bright, colorful, painted furniture, visit Cuanajo,
which is midway between Morelia and Patzcuaro. Just take note of the
sign, a few kilometers past Huiramba, make a U-turn at the next
opportunity and head for the hills. En route is Tupataro, which is
worth stopping at to gaze at the church ceiling.
Cuanajo is less than five minutes beyond that. There you'll find a
gazillion stores selling painted and unpainted, and paint-to-order
furniture of every kind, hue and quality. The town is filled with the
scent of freshly cut pine and a snap to navigate.
