Taxco de Alarcon, Mexico's silver capital, is a charming colonial town nestled in the mountains of Guerrero state between Mexico City and Acapulco. The town's winding cobblestone streets and whitewashed houses with red tile roofs, and its impressive Santa Prisca cathedral all combine to make Taxco a lovely and picturesque town. Those interested in purchasing silver will find the greatest selection here. If you are looking for a side trip from Mexico DF that is the place to go. Taxco is renowned for its more than 200-year-old baroque-style church, the Santa Prisca Cathedral.
