About Ajijic: If you are not familiar with Ajijic (ah-hee-HEEK), a Travel and Leisure article, written by Ellie Storck and Nicole Mlakar in December 2016, offers a glimpse the the town. Their article was entitled:
You Probably Haven't Heard of it, but Ajijic Should Be On Your Radar.
"Tucked within the striking Sierra Madre Mountain range on Lake Chapala, the town of Ajijic is at once charmingly reminiscent of decades past and quickly becoming a sought-after vacation getaway. Between the beautiful mountain peaks, the clear waters of Lake Chapala, and the mild temperatures from the town’s high elevation, those who travel to this Mexican paradise will want for nothing.
“It’s hard to imagine that in the ‘60s, this now lively little town had only one main paved road and a single shared telephone,” said Austin-based photographer Nicole Mlakar. “While you’ll still see horses being ridden on in the cobblestone streets, today Ajijic is home to over 10,000 people, a quarter of whom are retired expats from the U.S. and Canada.”
Once an undiscovered refuge for artists and bohemians, this charming Mexican town 34 miles from Guadalajara has risen into its own authentic cultural moment. The town’s center plaza and colorful streets offer countless galleries, boutiques, and restaurants that have drawn travelers from around the world—the town has even become a popular choice for retirees, who have made the stunning remodeled adobe dwellings their new homes.
On Wednesdays, locals flock to town for the Tianguis shopping market, where locally sourced foods and gifts can be purchased. And for those who love the outdoors, there is no shortage of hiking in the surrounding mountains or enjoy waterfront adventure by the lake.
While many may think to first travel to one of Mexico’s lively cities when visiting the country, this lakeside town is well deserving of a spot on any Mexico itinerary."
And a recent USA Today article published on January 2018 added another description:
"Ajijic is in the state of Jalisco on the shores of Lake Chapala, which at 417 square miles is the largest lake in Mexico. Ajijic is about a half-hour drive from Guadalajara’s international airport. This positions the town close enough to the big city benefits of Guadalajara, while still being tucked away from the urban sprawl in a unique natural setting. Imagine a huge lake with fisherman out on the water in pangas (small boats) casting for carp. At the shoreline are snowy egrets doing their own fishing. Someone in Ajijic must have made a concerted effort to protect the town’s trees since the streets are lined with huge specimens, including palm trees mixed in with pines and flowering jacarandas."
"The compact town of Ajijic has narrow streets with rough cobblestones. Strolling through the town, there are hints of past hippy glory, such as a Volkswagen Beetle festooned with stuck-on flowers, or a distant sound system playing Creedence or the Stones. Many of the walls of the town are decorated with colorful murals in a range of styles, from figurative to whimsical to abstract."
"The streets are lined with colorful houses and small boutiques and galleries. Since expats make up about 50% of the population during the winter season, visitors will find a greater variety of shops and restaurants than they would in a typical small Mexican town. For example, there’s the Simply Thai restaurant; Pasta Trenta; Ajijic Tango, featuring Argentinian steaks; and Tabarka Restaurante, serving Basque/Spanish cuisine."
"Drop into Ajijic on a Wednesday to experience the weekly tianguis, or farmer’s market. There’s a variety of vendors, with some selling fresh produce, while others hawk household goods, curios and crafts. There’s also a mix of food vendors selling traditional Mexican food at rock-bottom prices."
