Greetings!
Every year Mexico hosts a large, chaotic and often wonderful tourism fare
called "Tianguis" in Acapulco. As a member of the Mexco Writers Alliance, I've
just been sent the preliminary schedule. For more information, contact the
nearest tourism office or perhaps call the 800-44-MEXICO phone number in the US
and I believe Canada.
BTW, last year I wrote an article about Tianguis and the growing market for
ecotourism. It's online
