Taxco Guerrero Magic Town

In Taxco Guerrero, the houses are made from beautiful white and ocher tones. The effect is charming and dreamlike when you see them from a distance. The buildings, streets, people, and art are all wonderful. The church of Santa Prisca is impressive at 200 years old and built in Baroque style from pink stone. One more of its attractions is the huge silver market. Being a mining town where silver is the major source of income for the community, it is not surprising to find true works of art to the delight of those who want to visit this magical town
