Okay, you might have traveled to some “rustic,” “off-the-beaten-path,” or, dare I say, “quaint” towns through your travels, but how lots of of them can you say are in fact denoted as remaining “magic”? And not by some manufactured-up huckster like J.K. Rowling or Rick Steves, but somebody credible, like the Mexican Government!
As Jaunted reported back in June, Mexico’s Ministry of Tourism is in the method of paying $150 million to restore selected villages across the country, which will contain makeovers for museums, convents and churches, all in an energy to draw additional guests to one of these lucky 35 Pueblos Magicos.
This week, the SF Chronicle hit up one particular such enchanted village, Valle de Bravo, a town acknowledged not so substantially for its neighborhood charm, but for its influx of wealthy Mexicans that head there for weekend getaways. But, as the paper notes, it’s not all negative. “Yes, Valle has been identified by the Travel + Leisure contingent, but budget vacationers who do not call for resort-design pampering will uncover a lot of reasonably priced destinations to lay their heads within strolling distance of the square.”
Close by, vacationers can also pay a visit to Taxco, regarded as a silver craft center, and more east (okay, very a bit east), in the Yucatan is Izamal, the “yellow city” (since, properly, everything’s yellow), in which travelers can go to community craftsmen, Mayan pyramids, and the famed convent of San Antonio de Padua (wherever thousands of miracle seekers descend each and every yr).
No word but if nearby Cancun will get the anointed title of “magic” — anything abut Senor Frogs not getting genuine ample.
