Taxco Silver Town Shines With Rich Heritage and Shops
Taxco in the Sierra Madre, 100 miles southeast of Mexico City, is famed as Silver City with over 100 silver shops around Plaza Borda. Its historic wealth stems from silver mining since 1522, Santa Prisca Church's gold-coated altars, and the Sprattling Museum. Tour guides and shopping tips help visitors avoid overpricing and ensure genuine sterling silver while tours from Mexico City link Cuernavaca or Acapulco.
