Like a museum to Old Mexico, this town in the mountains between Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta was part of the mineral mining boom of the colonial era. Its adobe homes are painted white with red trim and topped with mossy red roof tiles. It is a pleasure just to stroll the streets and drink in the mountain air. At 1,550 meters (5,085 ft) feet above sea level, San Sebastian has a wonderful climate and outside town, many beautiful vistas.
