Yahualica is a town and municipality in the northeastern part of Jalisco, Mexico. It is one of the 125 municipalities that make up the state of Jalisco. Yahualica covers some 520.75 square kilometers and shares borders with the state of Zacatecas. The name Yahualica is thought to be derived from the indigenous roots of the Nahuas. It may be from "ayahuitl" meaning fog and "calli" meaning house, making Yahualica "the house of fog." Another proposed translation of Ayahuitl is "place surrounded by water" or "the round place".
