The town of Taxco — one of Mexico's 'Pueblos Magicos,' or magic villages — offers a glimpse into Mexico's Spanish colonial past.
Mexico's Ministry of Tourism announced in 2001 it was developing a program to highlight the most beautiful and culturally-rich towns in the country.
As the golden hour approaches, a cable car — the Teleferico de Taxco — ascends to the popular Montetaxco Hotel & Resort, a popular spot for sunset drinks overlooking the town below.Prominently poised in the Zocalo, the town's main square, is the iconic Church of Santa Prisca. Its ornate spires are indicative of Churrigueresque architecture, the elaborate Spanish colonial Baroque style commonly found in wealthy mining towns like Taxco.
Head to the Hotel Posada de la Mision for an interesting underground tour that culminates in a cocktail by the hotel pool.The town center features a massive selection of the area's world-renowned silver in dozens, if not hundreds, of shops.The winter months are high season in Taxco. Weather is both cool and dry from December to February.
Fortunately, the Zocalo and surrounding streets are abuzz with culture and contagious energy all year, but its many festivals make them all the more charming.Pozole is a state specialty; the delicious soup of hominy and pork is topped with chunks of avocado, lime and crumbled tortilla crisps.There are three main types: blanco , verde and rojo . Try it at Pozoleria Tia Calla, located in the Zocalo next to the Church of Santa Prisca.
