The best way to describe Ajijic, and the fascinating villages nearby, is that you have been transported to a land that is somewhere between a European art colony and an old Western movie. The narrow streets and interesting balconies, the 400-year-old cathedrals, and the quiet hospitality take you far away from your normal routine. The wonders of colonial history and culture that you will find in Guadalajara and nearby cities like Guanajuato can't really be depicted in words or photos; you have to feel and absorb them in person. |

She soon purchased a beautiful piece of property and began the process of transforming it into the "Casa de la Abuela" B & B. Michoacán is known for artisans that produce precision works of art from various types of wood.Because of this, she decided to decorate each room with the furniture and art work which is typical of her home state. Creating beauty here is a continuing pastime, and each habitation is constantly changing and improving. What Teresa has created, with the help of her daughter Gabriela, who speaks excellent English, is a warm family atmosphere. All of your needs are taken care of while you relax, surrounded by the beauty of nature and a sense of history. The word "Ajijic" signifies "a place where the waters sing", because of the sounds of all the little streams feeding the lake. The village was founded by Indians, about 1400 A.D. It enjoys sunny days in the 70's all year long. Now days you can find all sorts of activities to take advantage of the marvelous climate. You can shop till you drop at the hundreds of small stores, ride horseback along the shore, hike along the mountain trails, or simply relax in the quaint plazas at the center of each small town, where the local artists and others display their wares. Come and see what you have been missing! |
