Taxco is a small town in the southern Mexican state Guerrero. It once was a silver mining city and, although the mine is now almost depleted, it remains the main center for silver jewelry production in Mexico. Many famous Mexican manufacturers as Spratling had and have workshops in Taxco.
The official name of the town is Taxco de Alarcón.
