It is a lovely Mexican colonial highland town. Earlier on, it was a haven for American artists and is now full of expats – mostly Americans and Canadians. There were a lot of divorced women in their 50s who seem a little lost and are finding themselves. It is sunny and pretty dry.
We have been there several times as we have a friend who has a house there that she inherited from her father, who was a painter and bought the house eons ago and moved his family there for much of her childhood. The food is good.
I have traveled a lot in Mexico and prefer other places (Akumal), parts of Baja California Sud, but have enjoyed it there. Omnicrom permitting, we may go again this winter.
