Why Mexico Guru?
Mexico Guru is a website for those who love Mexico.
Some of us love the food, others the culture, the beaches, the weather or the tequila.
And some of us love it all, despite its quirks.
This site promotes authentic Mexico:
the one around the corner and down the block, not on the front of a full-color brochure.
We’ll tell you about our favorite places---well, most of them.
Five-star restaurants and taco stands. Surf spots and spas.
Casitas to rent and cantinas to haunt.
If you are planning to travel or retire in Mexico, be sure to
take our quiz to find out the best spot for you.
Also, don't miss our comprehensive section on Copper Canyon
or our new feature, Mexican Slang and Proverbs.
and a Calendar of Events organized by city as well as by month.

The Roosters of San Blas
Counting the seconds between a bolt of lightning and the clap of thunder that follows is supposed to help calculate a storm’s distance. Using this same principle, I’m timing the frequency of the rooster’s crow.
