Candela is a city in the central region (Región Centro) of the northern Mexican state of Coahuila.

There are three aquatic recreational areas in Candela: Los Carrisitos, Las Lajitas and El Ojo de Agua.

Las Lajitas is part of the Candela river which leads downstream to the town.

Another noteworthy asset of Candela is that it boasts several vast ranch-estates in its vicinity, such as the Santa Lucia de Sanmiguel - one of a few hidden jewels amongst the mountains.

One well-known chapel that is near the previously mentioned ranch, a tiny, open-air structure erected in the honor of the Virgen of Guadalupe, is a place in which many ranchers and townspeople alike use as a sanctuary to lay roses and rosaries and to pray for their loved ones.
