Mining for a getaway that's more than semi-precious can be taxing, but you'll hit pay dirt with this week's Your Best Deals Escape to Mexico's silver country.

Drop the shovel and relax at the picturesque Casa Estrella de la Valenciana. Bring along a fellow prospector for four nights in a charming guest room, complete with a private bathroom, luxury linens, and satellite TV ($610). Your stay includes a wealth of extras like daily full Mexican breakfast for two, daily afternoon drinks, and a welcome bottle of wine, and plate of fruit and cheese. You won't have to dig far to discover relaxation at the inn. Lounge by the pool to work on your golden glow, or cool off with a drink from the rooftop honor bar. Toting a pickaxe and pan can be exhausting, so soothe your tired muscles with two included hour-long Swedish massages in your room.Casa Estrella is nestled in the charming pueblo of Guanajuato, where Mina La Valenciana provided one fifth of the world's silver for 250 years.

In the 1500s, people rushed to this colonial city for precious metal, but today they visit for the quaint cobblestone streets and dramatic mountain views. You'll hit the mother lode of history, culture, and art in Guanajuato. Polish up on your knowledge of Mexican history at Diego Rivera's birthplace, the Jardn de la Union, and the Alhndiga de Granaditas museum during a guided tour of the centro. Later, you'll tour the studios of ceramics masters Gorky Gonzales and Capelo.Cash in on this week's sterling Escape to Mexico. Casa Estrella de la Valenciana is worth its weight in silver.
