TELLO DIAZ, Carlos. Antenor Patiño: a Bolivian Magnate in Mexico's Pacific Coast. Latinoamérica [online]. 2012, n.55, pp.159-183. ISSN 2448-6914.

The history of the coast of Colima and Jalisco in Mexico has been determined to a large extent by a series of accidental events, among which the most important is the big investment that the Bolivian millionaire Antenor Patiño had to make in Mexico in order to validate his conjugal address, which he needed to divorce his first wife. Patiño financed the international airport of Playa de Oro, which still serves that part of Colima and Jalisco, and attracted the man who fashioned the coast through his interest in conservation, the husband of his younger daughter, James Goldsmith.
