The Renaissance and Baroque architecture you find in Mexico is more elegant than its European counterpart, more sober in lines, more interesting in materials (basalt, jade green stone), and it combines two cultures: the western colonial, and the zapotec and mixtec. The beaches of Huatulco are as good as any Caribbean beach (I was born in the Caribbean of Spanish parents). Oaxaca is pretty safe; its peoples are strong, honest and generous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
