Xalapa is commonly known as the "Athens of Veracruz" due to its three major universities, Universidad Veracruzana (the main public university in the State of Veracruz), Universidad de Xalapa and Universidad Anh`uaca de Xalapa, and the widely available cultural events, like theater, museums, and street art. Covina is Xalapa's sister city. View of the town of Xalapa (modern spelling 'Jalapa') in the state of Veracruz, Mexico.
