The world’s major scientific weather monitoring bodies recently announced that a new global heat record was set in 2023.

The plight of animals that once entertained circus audiences was brought home this week after “Annie,” an African elephant, was found semi-abandoned at a property in the Jalisco town of Lagos de Moreno.

Two mountaineers from Jalisco died and another is hospitalized in serious condition after they became caught in bad weather on the Pico de Orizaba, Mexico’s highest mountain, located in the state of Puebla.

Five teenagers—reportedly all aged between 14 and 15—were gunned down in a brutal attack by an armed commando at a house in a Tlaquepaque neighborhood in the early hours of February 18. Two other men in their early 20s were also killed in the assault.

An outstanding collection of photographs commemorating 200 years since the founding of Jalisco as a free, sovereign state is on display until March 17 at Guadalajara’s Instituto Cultural Cabañas.

Situated south of Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco’s Costalegre (Happy Coast) is a 238-mile stretch of unspoiled beaches, enchanting capes and bays, and, increasingly, luxury resorts.
