Superlake carries tapered candles- mostly more pastel colors, but they might get red with the holidays approaching. Also, the dollar store on the Ajijic plaza has an assortment of candles, usually some tapered. Also, a few years ago I got a box of red ones from a papeleria in Ajijic located a block or so south of the carretera from the street light at Farmacia Guadalajara (Ajijic)- and on the west side of the street. If you don't see any candles you might ask if they have any in the back. (If not, maybe try other papelerias? They usually have many things stashed in their back rooms.) If you want to splurge on beeswax candles, Diane Pearl has some in various colors and sizes- mostly yellow and orange and cream I think- possibly tapered ones, not sure about that. OK, good hunting!
