Introduction

One of Mexico’s most picturesque towns, this colonial-era silver-mining center teems with gifted silversmiths and designers, making it an excellent place to buy silver. Nestled in the mountains, this charming city of steep cobblestone streets and white-washed houses with red-tile roofs offers an amazing range of shops, studios, workshops and street stands where you can buy everything from jewelry to utensils, sculptures and home decorative items in silver, as well as arts and crafts.
