Tepic, Mexico
December 9, 2008
Many years ago I visited Tepic, Mexico in the state of Nayarit. At the time is seemed very industrial and not all that attractive.
That has really changed. While this capital city may not be a hot torist destination, it is strategically located near the cost and an easy drive to many great beaches, including Puero Vallarta to the south and Mazatlan to the north.

We took Alexandra and Maya to Tepic and then out to Los Corchos Beach. They had a blast playing in the sand and swimming. The only negatives were the mosquitoes and the tight sleeping conditions because we stayed with family and did not stay in a hotel.
We are now seriously thinking about buying a house in Tepic, as it seems an ideal location that is close to many great places to relax. We are also considering relocating there part of the year, as it would be easy to run an Internet business from there. The Internet cafe’s had good, fast access.
If you compare Tepic to Guadalajara, it is not even a comparison. While Tepic seems to be improving, Guadalajara seems to be getting more conjested and many older neighborhoods seem to have vacant buildings covered in graffiti. It has new, modern neighborhoods as well, but it is pricy, poluted and less than charming. The downtown areas are still wonderful to visit, but parking, like most major cities, is terrible.
Overall we had a great trip and did get a better idea of our strategy to start a business in Mexico, but it will be a while before we can execute the plan.
