Taxco, Guerrero

The relatively hidden gem of Taxco lies approximately 100 miles southwest of Mexico City. The town is known for its silver trade and irregular, winding streets.

The beautiful church of Santa Prisca is in the center of town. And, for the record, you are looking at pretty much the widest stretch of pavement in the city.

Here's a better view of the central square.

Taxco is the kind of place where people come ahead of cars. We can build places like this, or, with our technological advancements, even better than this. Just because your town doesn't look like Taxco, doesn't mean we can't build one that does.

  1. Amazing! It looks a lot like Seville. Where hilly topography defied the Law of the Indies, a few irregularly-patterned cities did crop up in colonial Mexico. I'd never heard of this one, though -- thanks for posting it.
