The first stop will be at Templo de Veracruz, a 19th-century temple built in honor of Santo Cristo de la Veracruz, one of the most venerated symbols in Taxco. Did you know that this image is known by the name of "El General"?
We'll continue through the streets of Taxco to the Parish Church of San Miguel Arcángel. This church, one of the oldest in the city, dates all the way back to the 16th century and was originally dedicated to San Sebastián. We'll also visit the Chapel of San Nicolás, the patron saint of Taxco. Fun fact: on the feast day of this saint, bread rolls are given out to commemorate his miracles!
