My Mexico photo of the month: Copala, Sinaloa

This photo shows the main plaza and 18th-century Iglesia San José in the four-hundred-year-old Spanish colonial mining town of Copala. Located in the foothills of the Sierra Madre about 80 kilometers (50 miles) east of Mazatlan, Copala is a tranquil town with cobblestone streets and restored colonial buildings. It makes an easy day or overnight trip from Mazatlan and offers beach-goers a glimpse of life in rural Mexico. Copala has several restaurants and hotels catering to visitors.
