Mexico is strewn with multicolored, jewel-like cities from coast to coast and all down its mountainous, central spine. These cities and towns, known as Pueblos Magicos, or Magical Towns, are cultural treasures bestowed with this designation thanks to their commitment to heritage and tradition.
Mexico has more than 100 of these towns all over the country. You may know many of them, like Sayulita just north of Puerto Vallarta, Todos Santos near Los Cabos and Isla Mujeres just off the coast of Cancun. Some are lesser known, like San Cristobal de las Casas in Chiapas and Taxco in Guerrero. And still there are those that are likely completely off the radar, like Patzcuaro in Michoacan and Real de Catorce in San Luis Potosi.
