The inland city of Guadalajara is bursting with history and culture. Many attractions are in the city's historic center and in the neighboring city of Zapopan. Museums, parks and churches flourish alongside bullfights, rodeos and soccer (futbol). Nearby are the towns of Tequila, where the liquor of the same name is produced, and Tlaquepaque and Tonala, where artisans create an abundance of Mexican handicrafts. Mariachi, which originated in the area, is a common sight and sound in Guadalajara.

Beautiful neo-gothic cathedral. Reputably the best example in Mexico. It’s a pleasant walk from the cathedral Guadalajara. Lovely square in front. Even though it says closed on Saturday, it was open to look in.

Once an orphanage, this building now serves as a gallery of the famous murals of Jose Clemente Orozco.
Every time we visit Guadalajara, which is often because we live at Lake Chapala, we are never disappointed - the Orozco murals alone are worth the visit! There are always a number of different art exhibits going on, as the Cabanas is a large space with many side rooms and little patios, so exploring is always interesting.

Opened in 1886, this large neo-Classical building is home to the city's opera and orchestra.
I’m staying near the Teatro Degollado and I walked past it a few times. This morning was quiet and cool and I stopped at the small cafe for breakfast. The server was very nice and polite, considering my terribly limited Spanish. The food was delicious. I recommend the chilaquiles rojo with an iced coffee. Sitting beside the old and beautiful architecture, feeling the breeze, watching couples and families and performers film and take pictures (it’s a very photogenic plaza and a lot of ppl were taking advantage of that) was a great way to start my day.

This large zoo contains over 2,000 animals and is located in a beautiful ravine.
This Friday morning we took a US$4 UBER 11 km northeast from our Hotel NH Collection Guadalajara, arriving at 9:15 AM. After temperature check, hand sanitizer and paying the $8 senior rate for 2, we followed the zoo workers for the 200+ meter entryway to the Flamingo Pool. From here, we began a long shaded descent passing grass/pool/bird enclosures to the end of the valley, then returned on the other side, climbing back up. The 1 square mile property is well maintained, the animals we saw were in good condition in large enclosures, and there were ample clean restrooms spaced nicely throughout. Visitors spread out over many optional activities to suit their physical abilities and/or interests to include the Aquarium, Gondola, Safari Ride, Petting Park, Farm Animals, Picnicking, Shows and more. We enjoyed our 3 hour stroll seeing the active animals as well as the numerous well mannered masked families. This was a peaceful relaxing experience.

Tonala is more of a local town with amazing artisans as well as street vendors. If you want a taste of real Mexican life, this is the place to visit and to stock up on gifts. Tlaquepaque is more upscale in its shops but you will find an amazing array of quality Mexican handicrafts to take home.
