Taxco is another “magic town” in the mountains three hours south of Mexico City. It is known for its silver mining and artisans, but during Holy Week, the week leading up to Easter, silver is not the main attraction.
When I arrived in Taxco I immediately felt like I was in another country. The more I learn about Mexico the more diverse I realize it is – in landscape, people, culture, history, food. Each region is a new experience, and Taxco, with its extremely steep and narrow cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, and silver mining history, reminded me of places I’d visited in Bolivia.
I had plenty of time to explore the steep streets during the days, before the Holy Week processions began. I didn’t see many tourists who look like me, but there were thousands of tourists from other parts of Mexico. Families wandered the streets all day and night and shops and cafes seemed to never close. Vendors sold everything: tacos, ice cream, fruit, drinks – all available with salt, lime, and chili powder. Sombreros, bracelets, silver, and all types of souvenirs were sold on every street. Despite the multitude of people in such a small space, it was a calm, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere.
I had read about Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Taxco but nothing could have prepared me for the actual experience I was about to have. More on that in my next post. For now, here is an introduction to Taxco.

Ogrywam sie tam od jakichs trzech miesiecy, wiec cos tam juz wiem. Podrzucil mi to kumpel z innego forum, bo szukalem czegos gdzie sloty laduja sie normalnie. Lobby jest naprawde spore — gdzies kolo 3000 automatow, choc polowy z tego nigdy nie odpale. Pragmatic, NetEnt oraz Betsoft maja tam najwiecej swojego, nie brakuje takich rzeczy jak Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza czy Book of Dead.
Pakiet powitalny w Fiery Play to doplata 100% do 2000 zl i do tego 100 free spinow, wydawanych po trzy dni. Warunek obrotu to x35, co uwazam za w miare uczciwe, tyle ze warto przeczytac warunki — maksymalny zaklad przy obrocie jest ograniczony o czym nikt nie krzyczy. Dorzucali tez kod bez depozytu na 25 darmowych obrotow, ale to chyba akcja czasowa. Aktualne promki mozecie sprawdzic na fiery play casino przed zalozeniem konta.
Zakladanie konta to bylo doslownie chwila, minimalna wplata zaczyna sie od 40 zl. Zwykle ide karta, czasem Neteller, wyjscia z kasa robilem pare razy — raz zeszlo pol dnia, ale raz meczylem sie prawie trzy dni, przez KYC. Da sie tez krypto choc sam nie probowalem.
Najwiecej czasu spedzam w dziale live — to Evolution stoi za stolami, czesc krupierow mowi po polsku, czego sie nie spodziewalem. Crazy Time leci non stop, chociaz to bardziej cyrk niz granie. Blackjack i bakarat tez stoja otworem.
Na telefonie dziala bez apki i dziala to plynnie, chociaz na LTE w tramwaju live czasem przycina. Maja papiery z Curacao, wiec bez cudow — ale wyplacili, wiec nie narzekam. Obsluga w Fiery Play odpowiada po polsku choc pierwsze dwie odpowiedzi to bot. Jedyne co mnie realnie wkurza to spam promocyjny na maila — trzeba to recznie odklikac.
