What's nice about Mazatlan is that besides being a major beach resort on Mexico's Pacific coast, it's an authentic Mexican port city with more on its mind than tourism. Mazatlan also has a rich history dating back to Spanish colonial times, and in recent years a lot of effort has been put into restoring its historic downtown, which has some fine 19th-century buildings, attractive plazas, plus a couple of good museums. Concordia and Copala are two photogenic mining towns in the nearby foothills of the Sierra Madre that date back to the late 1500's.
