Valle De Bravo  The weekend playground form many mid to upper class Mexico City citizens. Many of which own a second home in the area. The town is municipally located in the state of Mexico and located in the shore of Lake Avandaro approximately 97 miles southwest of Mexico City and just west of the city of Toluca. Additional tourist information of the town can be found at the Valle De Bravo Site. The town is rich in colonial culture. I looked for the day to day spending time at the local plaza and the Mercado.
