[lamiseriadesiylosotros]

"¿Ya murió? ¿Y de qué?

-No supe de qué. Tal vez de tristeza. Suspiraba mucho.

-Eso es malo. Cada suspiro es como un sorbo de vida del que uno se deshace".

Juan Rulfo - Pedro Páramo.

Comala, mucho mas que un lugar, un estado de animo, no se sale, jamás vuelves a salir de Comala.

[sebas-15]

Al final de todo ahí se encontraban , enterrando a un muerto que no recibió el perdón de Dios ni la bendición del Padre , sentenciado a qué su alma vagara en pena hasta la eternidad, tenía a su alrededor llorando personas que ya no eran personas solo eran muertos que como el vagan por las calles de Comala tratando de encontrar el perdón y la bendición de Dios , eran simples muertos enterrando a un muerto. Porque recuerda que estamos en Comala un pueblo de muertos...

The Best Things to Do in Comala

Whether you're looking for a relaxing vacation or you're interested in learning about the culture and arts of Comala, there are some great things to do in the town. In fact, you might even be surprised at what you find! Fortunately, it's easy to get started.

Las Nogueras hacienda

Located on the outskirts of Comala is the Hacienda de Nogueras. This ex-hacienda was built by the Spaniard Juan de Noguera. The family ran a sugar cane mill until 1917. After purchasing the hacienda, the Rangel family began intensive cultivation of lemons. In the 17th century, the hacienda produced cane alcohol.

The hacienda is now the Nogueras Cultural Center. It is housed in old sugar mill facilities. Visitors can wander the cobblestone streets outside the museum. The gift shop and restaurant are open during museum hours. A small donation of 25 pesos is required per person.

During the 1960s, the Rangel family established a school for artisans. They taught carpentry, blown glass, gold leaf, paper (flowers), and other crafts. They also created furniture for the hacienda. This furniture was sold to many Mexican embassies.

Nogueras Hacienda is closed on Mondays. You can visit the hacienda from 10 am to 6 pm, or visit on Sundays from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. There is a gift shop and an English introduction to the museum.

Los Portales de Comala

Located 6 miles northwest of Colima, Comala is a small town with a large history. Its name comes from the Nahuatl word "comalli," meaning "place of clay griddles." Today, the town is surrounded by the imposing Volcan de Fuego and the Nevado de Colima. It is also known for its wrought iron work, furniture builders, and paintings. Its status as a Pueblo Magico was established in 2002.

There are plenty of best things to do in Comala. One of the best is a tour of the city's notable sites. The tour starts at the Plaza de Armas and includes a visit to the Casa de la Cultura Enrique Trujillo. The building features finely detailed paintings and an apothecary's shop. It is followed by a tour of the neoclassical parish of San Miguel Arcangel.

The plaza has a wide portico. There is a statue of Juan Rulfo reading to a bronze boy. The plaza also has a small museum to honor the Mexican writer.

Artisans of Comala

Located in the state of Colima, this small town has managed to keep its white with red roofs intact. It has also re-invented itself as a tourist destination with gourmet restaurants, artisanal shops and family run hostels. There are ten tianguis markets, eight department stores and a flea market. Comala is only six kilometers from Colima and is considered to be a cool place to spend a couple of days.

The town is surrounded by three natural boundaries. The namesake, the town of Comala, is situated within a natural corridor spanning 3 miles. It is also the home of artist Alejandro Rangel Hidalgo. The aforementioned plaza is anchored by a finely detailed painting.

The small town also has an array of landmarks to boast of. Among its many historical attractions are the old cathedral, the old municipal buildings and the Hacienda de Nogueras. The most popular of the many parks is the Parrochia San Miguel.

There are many small independent retail stores and department stores for the locals. The city is in the throes of an extensive redevelopment plan that will see the city's infrastructure upgraded and modernized.

I returned from visiting my family and got home last night around midnight. I left my suitcase and laptop backpack on the floor. I woke up at around 5 am to water all over my floor. A tube from the bathroom sink snapped and it was shooting water everywhere and I couldn't close the water flow, la llave de paso, idk what's called. I had to wake up the landlord to come help who thankfully solved the issue and fixed the sink. There was still water everywhere, so I had to get that out.

I am so so tired and all of that is gonna be a bore to clean later, but the only thing ruined was my copy of Pedro Páramo and really I am just relieved and thankful that past Barbi decided to take out the laptop from the backpack and put it on the table for no reson because any other time I would have just left it there.

I’ve been doing some research on West Mexico cultures, and because I am mostly using Google translate when looking at museum databases, does “shot tomb burial culture” ring a bell to you? I’d love to look more into it but just searching that didn’t get me very far. Thank you!!

I don't know why it is translating to "shot", but it shouldn't. It should be "shaft".

The shaft tomb culture should also more appropriately be termed cultures because there was no one single culture spread across West Mexico, but rather many cultures with their own unique characteristics which happened to participate in the tradition of burying their dead in tombs dug below ground that were accessed by vertical shafts. The Teuchitlán Culture of the Tequila Valleys, my specialty, was one such culture. But so, too, were the Ixtlán del Rio, Comala, Tuxcacuesco, and Bolaños cultures.

Here is an incomplete bibliography on all things West Mexico that I have not updated since I passed my qualification exams a couple of years ago. While extensive (and possibly overwhelming), there's a lot more that could be added. I can recommend specific texts if you want.

In 2015, we asked Rushdie to share some books that have shaped his life and work.

The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov

"The Devil comes to Moscow and, of course, makes trouble, accompanied by a cat shooting six-guns and an associate who disappears when he turns sideways. But he also assists a writer, known as the Master, who has been writing the story of Christ from the point of view of Pontius Pilate and, in despair, has burned the only manuscript. But, the Devil says, manuscripts don't burn. And there the book is, unharmed and intact. One of the greatest Russian novels. Stalin didn't like it."

The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut

"This is a real delight. Among its leading characters are a certain Winston Niles Rumfoord who, along with his dog Kazak, accidentally enters a 'chrono-synclastic infundibulum' and gets stretched out across space and time. There is also a Martian invasion of the Earth, and Salo, a messenger from the planet Tralfamadore stranded on the moon by a spacecraft malfunction. After that the Tralfamadorians distort the whole of human history to get Salo the spare part he needs. (The Great Wall of China is a message from Tralfamadore and so is the Kremlin. Draw your own conclusions.)"

Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban

"An unjustly forgotten novel that is utterly unlike anything else, a portrait of a world after a nuclear holocaust — the explosion of the '1 Big 1,' written in a brilliantly fractured language in which a bomb appears to have exploded as well. Folktale and science fiction blend in this portrait of a devastated world trying once again to become, and Riddley Walker's riddles may contain the secrets which, if unlocked, will provide the key."

The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter

"Carter's sensual, erotic retellings of fairy tales and folk tales — her 'wolf stories' — blend Snow White, Red Riding Hood and Beauty (of the Beast) into shape-shifting creations that are Carter's own. In these tales a girl attacked by a wolf can love the wolf or even become a wolf herself; the beauty can be beastly too."

Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo

"A short hypnotic novel which Jorge Luis Borges thought to be one of the best books ever written in any language, and which Gabriel García Márquez claimed to have memorized, and which, he said, unblocked his imagination and allowed him to create Macondo, the world of One Hundred Years of Solitude. A man named Juan Preciado is told by his mother on her deathbed to go to the town of Comala and find his father, Pedro Páramo, and get what he is owed. Juan Preciado embarks on the journey and as he nears Comala falls into a nightmarish world that may be populated entirely by ghosts."

The Non-Existent Knight by Italo Calvino

"This is a fable, set at the time of the emperor Charlemagne, about an empty suit of armour that believes itself to be a knight and keeps itself going by willpower and strict adherence to the rules of chivalry. It's one third of a trilogy of fantastic fables jointly known as 'Our Ancestors.' The others, The Cloven Viscount and The Baron in the Trees, are just as good."

"Pedro Páramo", del escritor Jalisciense, Juan Rulfo, es la novela mexicana más famosa y más reconocida.

Traducida a más de 40 idiomas y publicada en 90 países, iba a llamarse en un principio "Los murmullos", en referencia a todos los personajes muertos que aparecen en ella y que interactúan con Juan Preciado, quien emprende un viaje para buscar a su padre.

El tiempo y el espacio, la vida y la muerte se mezclan en la historia de Juan Preciado y su viaje a Comala, un pueblo desolado por la crueldad y tiranía de Pedro Páramo.
