Perhaps the most notable of these is “Vendedoras de Gorditas” (“The Gorditas Saleswoman”). In Mexico, gorditas are commonly round cakes made out of masa (a dough of ground hominy corn), and eaten fried or griddled, usually cut in half and stuffed. The sculpture depicts a street seller offering a fully prepared dish of gorditas taken out of her basket stash. “Vendedoras de Gorditas” joins additional works by Valderrábano and other sculptors in depicting Xicotepense scenes. “Vendedoras de Gorditas” is the only work in the trail that has spurred local traditions, however.
