Taxco is a beautiful city in the mountains of Mexico, a colonial town dating back to the 1600's. The streets are very narrow with no sidewalk so it is dangerous. Old Volkswagon beetles and buses are the main transportation so combined with wood smoke and trash fires, the aire is very polluted in the thin air at 6,000 feet. These are the cars outlawed in the US some years ago because they are such bad polluters.
A beautiful city with nice people and wonderful food but not good if you have breathing or asthma problems. Pollution is worse at night with heavy concentraions but exists all day long.
