Rayones (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rayones is a municipality in the Mexican state of Nuevo Le n. It is named after the Ray n brothers, who were insurgent heroes of the country's independence achieved in 1821. The town was founded in 1852. It is a small village consisting of fourteen streets, lying in the middle of the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range, in the northeast of Mexico. In the area near Rayones are the municipalities of Galeana (due south), Santiago (due north), and the state of Coahuila, due west. Rayones marks the beginning of the Zona Ixtlera, the southernmost region of the state of Nuevo Leon. Access to Rayones is difficult. The main highway, coming from Montemorelos, is a challenge for most drivers. The unpaved highway coming from Galeana is even more risky, as it is a two-way road where only one vehicle fits; it is rocky, lined by a dangerous cliff and has no guard rail.
