 During the weekends you can go to the town square and enjoy live music.
During the summer month, families go to the town square to enjoy some of its delicious ice cream. And oh what an ice cream it is! I can highly recommend that anyone who wants to truly experience and enjoy the Mexican way of life here in the lakeside visits the town square.
If you are planning to retire and your thinking of Mexico; why not consider the sunny northern shore of Lake Chapala, Mexico's largest and most important freshwater lake. Living outside your home country can be one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experience you can have. The lakeside is the home to an everyday growing community of more than 7,000 seasonal and full time foreign residents.
