Mazamitla

 During our time in Guadalajara, we heard of something called a magic town.  it turns out that the name does not denote anything as impressive as it implies - it is basically a title given to any particularly attractive tourist town by the Mexican tourism council, mostly for the benefit of Mexicans.  In our case, we went all the way up to 2500 meters where the air is cold and it rains frequently in order to see a town that, it seems, became popular for the view, the cold, and the many large trees.


The town is very nice. We decided to stay in a hotel in town but it was very very cold.  When I say cold, it was under fifteen degrees celcius, so we really piled on the wool blankets.  In the centre of town is the church, market, and a hundred foot tall deciduous tree. The tohrs that were being advertised were into the surrounding forests and it was very common to see kids riding quads thru the middle of town in groups of 3 or 4.
