taxco, silver town

Taxco tumbles down the side of a mountain, near silver mines that have been dug for hundreds of years. The Spanish took over from the Aztecs, and fortunately as there has not been much growth in the last century, the old Spanish town still remains. There are alot of alleys and little plazas that look very inviting to explore. And as there are stairs everywhere, not so many cars. We were only there for three hours but felt I could spend a week there exploring, as well as checking out the silver shops.
