The Ajijic Tango restaurant that recently moved into the building decided to revitalize the murals and reliefs of different artists that decorate the walls.

Sofía Medeles – Based on the number of tourist photos, one of the most recognized spots in Ajijic is the corner of Morelos at its intersection with Del Paseo; right in front of the pier. Murals and reliefs by José Durán, Javier Zaragoza, Ramón Heredia and Jesús López Vega attract throngs of picture-snapping tourists and locals daily.
Recently, the popular Ajijic Tango restaurant moved to this spot and asked the artists to maintain their murals, among them, José Durán who painted the landscape on the building. After 13 years, his idyllic scene which depicts the daily life and customs of Ajijic was finally retouched.
José Durán’s creation is now finished and in it you can see scenes of Colón Street, a tianguis that was located on Parroquia Street, and a couple listening to musicians sitting on the iconic tree of the six corners.
Next to it, on the same property, there is a mural by Javier Zaragoza, a relief by Ramón Heredia, and on Del Paseo Street, a mural by Jesús López Vega, which is also being restored.
