As a World Heritage Site, Oaxaca is a superb tourist destination with history, culture, food, art, and crafts. For ancient ruins Oaxaca has pre-Columbian sites. Oaxaca is rich in colonial era architecture. The unique cuisine is home to mole, chocolate, and mescal. Oaxacan art boasts 3 great Mexican painters, Tamayo, Morales, and Toledo. Crafts include rug weaving, woven fabrics and embroidery, jewelry, pottery, woodcarvings, and basketry. I'll introduce Oaxaca with words, links and photos.

Murals
Murals are popular throughout México and Oaxaca is no exception. This is a small collection, all within the centro. If the slideshow doesn't appear, apparently it doesn't work on an iPad, go to my picasa web album. The captions are the street names of the murals. Some are advertising.
