Hordes of visitors from all around the world converge on the cities marketplace to buy valuable silver. The city of Texaco became famous in the 14th century due to the Spanish quests for Mexican riches. The town lost its luster two hundred years later only to be revived by the great American, William Spartling. He invited the Texcon craftsman to revive the lost art of Mexican Jewelry by using their natural skills of carving silver. Soon, the town came back into spotlight and is now the center of Mexican Jewelry art.
