About Cocula

Nearly without exception, when I see photographs of the mountains in Guerrero, I'm struck by the seeming lack of grandeur. 

"Most of the mountains belong to the Sierra Madre del Sur. The exception is the mountains of the Taxco area which belong to the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and include the small mountain ranges of the Sierra de Sultepec, Sierra de Zacualpan and the Sierra de Zultepec. These are connected to the same volcanic system as the Nevado de Toluca." - [That's from Wikipedia]

Guerrero is as dark as you want to make it, but unlike regions, or states, or places in other kinds of economies, there are no abandoned regions or states in Mexico. Appalachia is abandoned. Lots of people likely feel abandoned in Guerrero, but the state is important.
