Colonial Oaxaca was founded by the Spanish in 1529. The town's astonishing treasures include one of Mexico's most splendid churches and several of it's finest museums and buildings. The climate is spring-like and pleasant year-around. The native inhabitants are descendants of the Zapotec and Mixtec Indians. There are over 2,300 archaeological sites. Oaxaca is home to excellent cooking and Spanish language schools. Restaurants are known for mole, and tamales, but most food varieties are available.
