A stunning view as you approach Taxco.
The weather was perfect - warm but not too hot.
The picture doesn't do justice to the intricacy of the church.
At the bus station we took a combi to the centre of the town. When we got off, a man approached us and told us about a restaurant La Flor de la Vida. I just heard the name and wanted to go. It was a little place up three or four flights of stairs with a beautiful outdoor balcony with a view of the town. It wasn't expensive to boot.
Chilaquiles and surprisingly good coffee.
A view of the Zocalo from the restaurant.
The narrow cobblestone streets snake and curve up and down the mountain between tons of silver and trinket shops. Taxco is famed for its silver.
This is the guy who showed us the restaurant. He kept appearing afterward and showed us this shrine, a souvenir shop, and gave us a little tour of the area.
Some of the booths selling silver.
Candies and snacks
Before leaving, we took a taxi to the top of the mountain to see this newly placed statue.
The view was well worth it.
The silver is beautiful. :-)
