Ajijic is about thirty (30) minutes from the Guadalajara airport and less than an hour from the center of Guadalajara, Mexico's second largest city. There you will find big-city night life, museums, 16th century cathedrals, ballet and a host of other attractions. Adjoining cities of Tonala and Tlaquepaque are meccas for artisans and Mexican handicraft items.
"Casa Flores is a magnificent, but small, B&B just off the main road in Ajijic, Mexico. The property is fantastic with a small pool, lovely garden area, great foliage, and the rooms are more than adequate. Our room was spacious, clean, and with a fridge and microwave. The views from the rooms are great. B&Bs don't get any better than this!"
