Winding hill lanes
Steep, narrow streets twist across the hillside with almost no straight lines. The pattern clearly reflects how hard it was to build on such a steep site.

The map
About this Taxco de Alarcón map poster
Taxco de Alarcón clings to a steep slope in northern Guerrero. Few places in Mexico look as unusual on a map. There is no grid here. Narrow cobbled lanes twist, fork and double back as they climb the hillside, and the town fills a bowl of mountains with a tight, knotted street pattern.
Taxco has been known for silver since colonial times, and its workshops and jewellery shops still define the town. At the centre stands the Baroque church of Santa Prisca, built with mining wealth in the eighteenth century. A cable car rises from the lower town to a hilltop, and the highway traces the lower edge of the slope.
A Taxco de Alarcón map poster turns this tangle into something close to drawing. The streets look almost hand-drawn, with switchbacks and dead ends that mirror the steep terrain. It is an ideal print for anyone who has walked these hills, bought silver here, or simply likes maps that break from the grid.

Santa Prisca
The eighteenth-century church stands at the heart of the town. Its square is where the tangled lanes finally come together.
Valley highway
The main road runs along the lower edge of the town. It forms a smoother curve beneath the dense street pattern above.
