This past weekend I took off to Taxco, an old silver mining town about 3 hours south of Mexico City. I paid $104 pesos (roughly $9.50 US dollars) to get there. I was there for the official start of the Festival Nacional de la Plata. Throughout the festival, a princess and her court are selected, the governor oversees the festivities in the state of Guerrero, and various Mexican pop stars perform live every night.
Taxco is a picturesque colonial city with a stunning central square, quaint cobblestone streets and impressive alley-ways. The people here are extremely friendly, the food is surprisingly cheap and good, and the hotels are equally economically and very nice (about $400 pesos for a double).
