It´s called Tasco but it´s spelled Taxco and the homes might as well be made of silver. That´s how it´s 50-thousand inhabitants make their living in the tourist hot spot...well most fo them.

Taxco is a town built on silver mines...literally...the mountain town is built almost right ontop of silver mines. Needless to say the shops are lined with wall to wall silver, and at most stores the goods are cheap. But I just don´t understand how people make their money when there are dozens of other stores selling the exact same things...often right next to eachother.

Right in the middle of the town is a huge gorgeous church. Inside there is so much to look at that it´s really overwhelming. It´s the only place in town I saw gold. It was built by a man that made a fortune off the silver mines...so he paid to have this church built. My jaw dropped when I walked in and it didn´t close till I left.

Overlooking the town is a Jesus statue that just makes the town that more attractive. And with the only pizza place I´ve seen in Mexico, Taxco was just an amazing place to visit.
