Hacienda El Carmen

This hacienda was originally donated by the Spanish Crown to Francisco Merodio de Velasco in the sixteenth century. These lands were inherited by the Velasco family until Francisca Figueroa Viuda de Águila, who had no descendants, donated them to the Order of the Carmelitas Descalzos, hence the name El Carmen. Many years later, during the agrarian reforms of President Juárez, the 60,000 fertile hectares, with their generous climate, abundant waters and privileged location, were expropriated and handed over to General Florentino Cuervo in 1860. In 1863 the hacienda was bought by Luciano Gómez Remero and then inherited by Luis L. Corcuera Gómez.

After the Revolution the land was divided into several ejidos, leaving the hacienda with a very small property, now restored as an hotel.

Ameca

Ameca is situated in the western part of Jalisco, about 80 kilometres west of Guadalajara. The haciendas in the Valley of Ameca comprise a series of expansive land estates awarded to Spanish soldiers for their services in the military during the conquest of New Spain in the late 1500s. Although a great portion of these estates were built during the colonial period, some of them were inclusively built during the Porfirian period (1876-1910). These haciendas were dedicated to the production of mezcal, as well as the cultivation of sugar cane and rice and the raising of livestock.

Hacienda "El Cabezon"

This hacienda dated from the conquest. It passed through several owners until in 1765 Manuel Calixto Cañedo bought this and the neighbouring hacienda La Vega at auction from the Juzgado Eclesiástico of Guadalajara.

Manuel Calixto Cañedo de Alcaraz had made his initial fortune in the silver mines at Rosario, Sinaloa (then Sonora), and had converted his assets into a string of rich haciendas besides continuing as a merchant and financier. He started a dynasty that remained in the Valles región until the first decades of the 20th century. In 1765 he bought this hacienda of El Cabezón and that of La Vega, in 1772 the hacienda of Buenavista and in 1780 the hacienda of La Calera. On his death in 1793 he left in the possession of the Cañedo family a series of properties that his successors would increase throughout the nineteenth century.

In October 1901 the tienda de raya of this hacienda sold maize at prices lower than the speculators even though the scarcity could have allowed good dividends,

In 1915 this hacienda was owned by his descendent, Manuel Calixto Cañedo.
