Brewing Up a Business in Guanajuato

As the saying goes, if you want something done right, do it yourself…When expat and coffee lover Greg Stavroudis first moved to Guanajuato, Mexico, there wasn’t a coffee shop in town that made a proper cup of java, he says. So he opened his own café. Café Tal “was born of the need for decent coffee in Guanajuato,” says the 53-year-old from Tucson, Arizona—a classic case of spotting a need and satisfying it.

“Why I Bought a House in Guanajuato, Mexico”

A friend of mine from the U.S. recently visited me in Guanajuato, Mexico. It was her first time in this colonial city—and already she can’t wait to come back. “I didn’t expect to be so smitten with this city,” she said toward the end of her stay. I know the feeling—it happened to me, too. That’s why I bought a small house here last year and visit regularly. Eventually I may well move here full-time.
