Thanks to good reflexes and quick thinking, the driver of a bottled water delivery truck managed to avoid a potentially tragic collision after the vehicle’s brakes failed near the busy intersection of the Libramiento and the Chapala-Ajijic highway.  

The Auditorio de la Ribera would be celebrating major milestones this weekend were it not for the vagaries of government-managed construction projects.  

Two new garbage trucks recently acquired by the Chapala municipal government may bring about minor improvements in the current irregularity of pick-up services, but there are no signs that big changes in solid waste management will come any time soon.

Chapala’s faithful will honor patron saint San Francisco de Asis with nine straight days of festivities running from Monday, September 26 through Tuesday, October 4.  

Efren González let out a nervous chuckle as he slapped tile plaster on the back side of the first of several hundred clay plaques that will make up his Mural de los Muertos, a massive sculpture he is creating as permanent tribute to Ajijic’s dearly departed.

By a narrow margin, inhabitants of San Antonio Tlayacapan chose the construction of a new bandstand (kiosco) at the town plaza during the public opinion poll conducted Monday, September 12 by municipal government personnel.

A new highlight of Chapala’s September Independence Day parade was the police contingent that led this year’s 90-minute cavalcade along Avenida Madero.

Chapala is at peace, on the financial mend and well into a process of transformation that will bring prosperity, declared Mayor Javier Degollado at his first annual report on the state of the municipality.
