Atlantis of the Southwest

Once buried beneath the waters of South Texas' Falcon Lake, Mexico's colonial jewel, Guerrero Viejo, now a ghost town, glistens again in the warm Tamaulipan sun. But now only the skeletal remains of the once great city can be seen. And the graveyard that houses so many of the founding fathers of the royal city. Descendants of families from Guerrero are filtering back to join the ghosts they have left behind.

Once a great frontier city created by Royal decree, Guerrero, like Atlantis, sunk to the bottom of a watery grave and was no more. Gone were many fine examples of Spanish architecture and Old World craftsmanship. Gone was its Euro-like glory; the art, the people, and most of the glorious memories.

Old Guerrero, as it has been called since the residents of the town were forced-relocated to a newly constructed city some 13 miles to the south, has reappeared on the Texas-Mexico border since a decade of drought and water shortages have caused the waters of Lake Falcon to recede.

The skeletal framework of this frontier ghost town is now an attraction for visitors who come in search of history, ghosts and a taste of what life past must have been like in this remote outpost on the Mexican frontier.

Will the town disappear once the lake is full again? Oh, if the stones could talk! Take advantage of a once in a life time experience to walk the cobblestone streets of this forgotten city that once boasted a two story hotel.
