Tepeaca (municipality) is a town and municipality in Puebla in southeastern Mexico. Tepeaca is located 35 km (21.75 mi) from the city of Puebla and is the municipal seat of the municipality of the same name. Its name comes from a Spanish variant of "Tepeyacac" composed of the Nahuatl words tepetl ("hill") and yacatl ("nose tip, which is in the foreground") (can be translated in various ways: "in the top of the hill" or "the principle of the hills"). It has been called Tepeaca de Negrete as it was the birthplace and hometown of General Miguel Negrete Novoa. Along with Tecali Herrera, he extracted the onyx and marble.

In the parish of San Francisco de Asís is a Child Jesus image called the Santo Niño Doctor de los Enfemos. The image is old but devotion to it is relatively recent. The image used to belong to a nun of of the Order of Josephine at Concepción Béistegui Hospital in Mexico City. When the nun was transferred to Tepeaca, she brought the image with her and had it with her as she treated the sick. This image has had its own feast day at this church since 1961 on the 30 of April.

David Huerta, born in Mexico City in 1949, is a Mexican poet and the son of well known poet Efraín Huerta.

As the son of the renowned Mexican poet Efraín Huerta, David was immersed since childhood in Mexico's literary environment. He studied Philosophy, and English and Spanish literature at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). There he met Rubén Bonifaz Nuño and Jesus Arellano, who published his first book of poems, The Garden of Light.

Huerta has spent many years translating and editing for the Fondo de Cultura Economica, an institution where he directs the magazine La Gaceta del FCE. In addition to his poetry and essays, he writes an opinion column in the political weekly Process. David Huerta has opposed cuts to the cultural budget by the Mexican government, struggling in particular to preserve the home of the poet Ramón López Velarde (whose library is named after Huerta's father Efraín Huerta), which has often been threatened by a shortage of resources.

David has received numerous awards, most notably the Carlos Pellicer poetry award in 1990 and the Xavier Villaurrutia Prize in 2006. He has also been a Fellow of the Mexican Writers' Center (1970-1971), the Guggenheim Foundation (1978-1979), and the Fund for Culture and the Arts (FONCA). Since 1993, he has been a part of the National System of Creators of Art (Mexico).
