the latest and the greatest from el jezel

the story behind el jezel

Ah, the story of El Jezel’s name, you ask. 

We may have told those of you who have asked about the myth of the Mexican boogey man, often know as El Chupacabra but who is lesser known as El Jezel by the locals in a small town off the west coast of Mexico.  Here is more to that story:

Centuries-old legends say that more than 3,000 years ago the God of fire looked down from the volcano, Nevado de Colima, to advise and give solace to the inhabitants of this region.  This God is known as El Jezel due to it’s glowing, cool azure eyes amidst the red glow of the volcano that engulfs it.
