Parroquia de San Pedro Apostol

16th-century church with Byzantine architectural touches.

Reviewed By nomadfamilytravelers - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

This is one of two main churches right next to each other bordering the main square in Centro, Jardín Hidalgo. It is absolutely worth seeing as it is an excellent example of a smaller historic Catholic church.

I came here because it was located next to the Hotel Armonia where I spent the nite ;; My 3rd time here..Really enjoy the short tour of their products that are made herellit never gets old. The staff here was very hospitable to me..I am Mexican..raised in Ciudad Juarez, Chih.. Upon entering, the young man offered me a small cup of water..I was so glad to take off the mask. and could NOT refuse the .because I was so hot after walking around downtown Tlaquepaque! The tour started with a young lady telling me how their chocolate products are made using an antique wood stove that has been remodeled into gas to use today..and an old grinder..Their products include powdered chocolate and candies..the 2nd room consisted of an explanation of how pinole is made..I am familiar with this Mexican peanut powder that can be mixed to make a drink..because the Tarahuamara Indians from Chihuahua..make this powder to sell & it is readily available in the markets in Ciudad Juarez!..The 3rd room consisted of how rompope or Mexican eggnog is made..the young lady was very knowledgeable..& this recipe is unique to the area..I was offered a sample and I told her..I thought rompope was made with milk..the last room consisted of how cajeta was made..the young man told me that this is the only product that is not produced here..so I watched a short video..I am also familiar with cajeta..as I have seen it my whole life in my hometown!..After the very informative tour, I knew i had to buy something!..I did not really pay attention to the tequilas around as that is NOT the reason I came back..i wanted to buy something unique that I do not see in Chihuahua;;I found small bottles of flavored rompope..& some other Mexican candy..By the cash register, in the glass case,,there are some products made of barro..I wish i had seen the small nacimientos..i would have bought one here instead of the Casa de Artesanos..but I will return..i am really impressed by the products and the staff here..I

Independencia Avenue

Reviewed By CeeZeeMex - Edmonton, Canada

All roads in Tlaquepaque lead to Independencia Avenue. From morning till late at night it is a vibrant area filled with activity, wonderful food smells and great shopping. At one end there is a small plaza full of food vendors and at the other end is a church. Plan a full day
