About San Antonino Castillo Velasco
San Antonino Castillo Velasco is a town and municipality located south of the city of Oaxaca, in the Mexican state of Oaxaca.
It is part of the Ocotlán District in the south of the Valles Centrales Region
Its population is less than 5,000, but it was the scene of a number of violent confrontations in the 2000s. The town is known for its crafts, especially fine embroidery and items made with a flower known as flor inmortal, so called because it does not lose its color when it is dried.
