Guadalajara is one of the largest cities in Mexico and the capital of the state of Jalisco. The second most populous city in the Aztec country is known as the land of mariachi and tequila, two of the most traditional elements of Mexican culture. Likewise, the so-called "pearl of the West", stands out for its cosmopolitan character and for bustling with life at any time of the day.
Guadalajara has a rich historical heritage. The city treasures several monuments that are worth a visit to get to know them in depth. The Metropolitan Cathedral of Guadalajara, a must-see located in the Plaza de Armas, is considered the most emblematic building of the city. A few steps away is the Rotonda de los Jaliscienses Ilustres, a monument erected in homage to the most illustrious people in the state.
Also in this area is the State Government Palace, currently the headquarters of the government of Jalisco, is a must, as are its murals. Same goes to the Degollado Theater, a neoclassical iconic building and one of the cultural benchmarks of Guadalajara. It is also worthy mentioning the Basilica of the Blessed Sacrament or Expiatory Temple, considered the greatest work of neo-Gothic style in Mexico.
The route continues through the Regional Museum of Guadalajara, which allows you to learn about the history of the city and the state of Jalisco through its different exhibition areas. Another essential visit is the Hospicio Cabañas, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997.
In addition to its rich heritage, Guadalajara has much more to offer. To really experience the city, there is nothing better than go through their markets. The Libertad or San Juan de Dios market is the largest indoor market in Latin America. In its many stalls you will find everything you can imagine; from fruits and all kinds of food, to local handicraft products and local confectionery. It also has a restaurant area where you can try the local delicacies.
Very close to the centre of Guadalajara, just about 20 minutes away, is Tlaquepaque. This town is one of the most outstanding handicraft centres in Mexico. Visit its many workshops and discover its colourful streets, especially the Andador Independencia, and let yourself be captivated by its festive atmosphere, with numerous mariachis playing in the area.
