For a taste of how the wealthy jalisciense (citizens of Jalisco) once lived, visit the former digs of Guadalajara's López Portillo family. The brood included writers and politicians, such as an early-20th-century Jalisco governor and his grandson, José López Portillo, Mexico's president from 1976 to 1982. The stunning collection of 17th- through 20th-century European furniture and accessories is a big hit with antiques lovers. (A former museum administrator was so enamored that she allegedly took home some goblets.)
