By DAVE ROONEY MEXICO CITY (CP) —

. About 240,000 Canadians visit this Spanish-s peaking country each year and drop $100 million into its economy while seeing little more than the Pacific Coast city Acapulco,

But older, tess-hectic Mexican cities also have plenty to offer curious visitors with a week or so to spare.

Unlike Acapulco, 500 kilo- metres south of _ this sprawling, high-altitude capital, there is no in- ternational airport in Taxco, © Cuernavaca or Puebla, but they are easily accessible to those who do‘ not mind travelling by bus or automotile.

Four-hundred-year-old Taxco perches on a moun- tainside 200 kilometres south of here and its economy- depends largely on its richly- dgverved fame as a silver

The lustrous white metal is

extracted from five different mines in thedry, rounded highlands, refined and then handcrafted in the silver factories and shops found throughout the city.

But don’t expect many bargains — they disap-~ peared when silver prices soared on world markets. The cost of Taxco’s sterling objects reflect those prices as well as higher labor costs heater by, a iator 8

while,

Simple charms coat at least $10; rings $30 and chains $40. The more elaborate goblets, cups, plates, pitchers and punc-

owlg'can set buyers back $50 to $2,000. _

Aside from the ubiquitous silver shops, the beautiful 1ethcentury cathedral and other colonial buildings surrounding the zocalo — or town square — are worth at ‘least two days of ex: ploration.

The city's nooks and crannies are best discovered on foot because the dearth of parking space and narrow, eobblestoned streets make motoring difficult.

There are about a dozen

‘of colohial dignity,

“Mexican cities offer interest

excelient hotels in Taxco “with clean, comfortable rooms, adequate meals and English-speaking staff. They also have swimming pools were sun worshippers can relax and catch a few rays to

of- culture an impressive tan.

Unlike Taxco, with its air the streets of Cuernavaca sizzle with vitality. It is an. agricultural and commercial city as well as the centre for a large resort area that attracts thousands of pecple from Mexico City, only 70. kilometres to the north. ~ Herman Cortez chose it as his seat of power over Mexico City — then known as. Tenochtitlan — after he broke the back of the Aztec

. Empire and his palace on the

zocalo is maintained as a national: museum. Cuernavaca, now capital of the state of Morelos, sits on the edge of a wide valley 1,000 metres above sea level, which should be a relief for

those whose lungs strained |

for the thin, 2,000-metre-high air of Mexico City.

Like all Mexican resort centres, this city of 60,000 is loaded with hotels and

‘pecreation facilities for.

tourists. Unlike most others, it also has resorts for the exclusive use of government bureaucrats.

Puebla, 200 kilometres northeast of Mexico City is

central Mexico, it was not built ou the site of an existing Indian city but was planned andbuilt from scratch by the | Spanish. It is well-known for its flamboyant colonial architecture and antique and tile shops; If you want a real bargain in antiques, Puebla's Callejon de Los Sapes. ~ or Lane of the Frogs — is the place to visit. Here you'll find 100-and 200-year-old chests, furniture, masks, weapons and other items that can be purchased’ for less than they would cost in Canada or the United States. But be prepared to bargain. Haggling is ex- pected in most Mexican shops or markets.
