Last week’s discovery of 26 corpses dumped beside Guadalajara’s iconic Millennium Arches has led to concerns over security in the city and the rise in gang-related killings.

Metro Guadalajara is full of Christmas markets that have sprung up to help you with your holiday wish list.

“El Buen Fin” (The Good Weekend) – Mexico’s inaugural version of Black Friday in the United States – proved to be a hit with both consumers and shoppers, with malls packed to the rafters throughout all four days of the discount shebang.

Seven people were injured – including a seven-year-old girl – when an elevator in the Hotel Vista Express in Plaza del Sol plunged ten floors last Friday.

Guadalajara awoke in a state of shock Thursday morning to the news that 26 bodies had been discovered in three vehicles abandoned near the Millennium Arches, the landmark monument located at the intersection of three major avenues: Mariano Otero, Lazaro Cardenas and Los Arcos.

The 25th edition of Guadalajara’s International Book Fair (FIL), which last year attracted more than 600,000 visitors, opens on Saturday, November 26.
