The Surrealist Gardens of Edward James

Xilita is most famous for The Surrealist Gardens of Edward James (a.k.a Las Pozas, El Castillo de Sir Edward James, Enchanted Gardens, or El Eden)   Sir Edward James was an eccentric English man and supporter of the surrealism movement who moved to the middle of no where Mexico and expressed his surrealist ideas in 80 acres covering Xilitla. The property is designed with heavenly gardens, natural waterfalls, dreamlike sculptures and a concrete complex of truly well, surreal, architectural masterpieces. A fantasy world of flowers, fountains, and greenery lead along the seemingly endless and maze-like paths, while at every twist and turn a strange figure enchants you.
