	Guide to Comitan
		Comitan and neighbouring San Cristobal de las Casas and Tuxtla Gutierrez are in the State of Chiapas, a region east of Oaxaca and south of Villahermosa and which is, without question, Mexico’s most stunning scenic area; mostly wild and rugged, it is rich in indigenous life and culture.
		Comitan de Dominguez (its full name, although most often referred to as just Comitan; "Koh-me-tan"), was first settled around 1527 by the Spanish, and is still largely undiscovered by most foreign visitors to Mexico's Chiapas region, who traditionally arrive and explore the region from San Cristobal de las Casas, 88km (55 miles) north of here.
		Comitan's main plaza (also known as the Zocalo) is an attractive, multi-level mix of benches, trees and art sculptures; there is also a fountain on west side.

		They marched through the streets of Comitan, near the Guatemalan border, shouting slogans blaming the government for not giving them enough resources to work with.
		The local leader of the health workers union said the government-run hospital in Comitan had been sterilizing and reusing hypodermic needles for almost a year, due to a lack of supplies.
