Patzcuaro lies about 2200 meters or 6600 feet above sea level. Thus, it is cool and pleasant all year round. The weather reminded us of San Francisco. It is quite a relief from the heat at the beach.
Patz has lovely plazas and amazing old buildings and there is just such a great vibe there. And they have beautiful handicrafts - copper, wood, reed, textile, stone, masks, etc. Denni and I went a little crazy with buying stuff... it was so hard not to. We have so much decorating to do at Casa Majahua .. we just wish we had a bigger car!
We ended up staying an extra night. Mostly because we were loving the shopping and also we met a couple at our B&B who said we were crazy not to stay at least 2 nights. So it goes!
The B&B we stayed at, La Casa Encantada, is owned by two women, Cynthia and Victoria. We actually got to meet them while we were there. They also own a beach house in Caleta de Campos. They live in Mexico full time now. Good for them!
We did a lot of walking in Patz... it is a great walking city ... but we did get out and drive around Lake Patzcuaro one day. Stopping at little towns to possibly buy things. And we did!
I will be adding pictures when I can! We definitely recommend visiting Patzcuaro if you can. It is a Mexican treasure.
