Ajijic - Lonely Planet Quote: "Ajijic (pronounced 'ah-hee-heek') is an outpost of North American retirees and by far the most sophisticated and energetic of the towns that line the northern shore of Lago de Chapala. While the gringos may have put Ajijic on the map by opening boutiques, galleries and restaurants galore, much of the town retains its charming, colonial-era vibe, with cobblestone lanes and quiet streets of colorfully painted houses. It makes a delightful place to sit back and relax awhile..." Within a radius of 1-2 km you will find everything you need!
