In 1890, Chapala was a small fishing village; within decades it became an important international tourist destination. This book explains how and why this transformation took place, and looks at the architects, entrepreneurs, adventurers and visionaries responsible.Organized as a walking tour of Chapala, each chapter of If Walls Could Talk focuses on a different building and explores the fascinating stories of its former occupants-locals and foreigners. The valuable legacy left by these extraordinary individuals is still clearly visible today in the streets, villas, hotels and grand mansions of this idyllic lakeside locale. Follow the author and discover the history, hidden in plain sight, of Chapala-Mexico's earliest international tourist destination.
