Guadalajara
Your getaway to Guadalajara
Guadalajara suits a traveler who wants a bit of everything, well portioned. Morning at the cathedral and plazas — the essential postcard, done in an easy hour. Birria for a late breakfast, because that's what the city eats. An afternoon wandering Tlaquepaque's galleries and shaded courtyards, no map required. The Hospicio Cabañas murals for the one big cultural stop. Coffee in Colonia Americana, the neighborhood everyone ends up loving. A torta ahogada at a busy counter, spicy sauce, new favorite lunch. Sunset from the Huentitán overlook or a rooftop above Chapultepec. Mariachi in the plaza to close the evening, tequila optional but recommended. A taste of everything, nothing overdone — the right first trip.
