Today we talk about Guadalajara, the capital and the most populated city of Jalisco, in Mexico. Because we know that after visiting the best markets in Mexico City and sunbathing on the beaches of Cancun, you will surely want to continue discovering this beautiful country.
This is what you must do before leaving Guadalajara!
Buy Crafts
Jalisco is one of Mexico's leading producers of handicrafts and folk art, and Guadalajara is not an exception! To get the best products, you have to go to a small village called Tlaquepaque, place of the origin of works that adorn from the rooms of the Vatican to the Ranch of the American ex-president Lyndon B. Johnson.
Know its Cathedral
The Cathedral of Guadalajara or the Assumption of Mary Most Holy, is one of the most representative buildings of the Mexican city, thanks to its towers with neogothic needles and its rich history. Inside are the relics of the martyr Santa Inocencia, a series of crypts and even the heart of Bishop Ruiz de Cabañas y Crespo.
Watch a Football Match
The Guadalajara or the Atlas? This city of Mexico is a huge soccer fan. Here you can visit two stadiums: the Jalisco, scene of two world cups and shelter of the foxes of the Atlas; and the new Omnilife Stadium, the modern home of the Chivas Rayadas.
Eat Tortas Ahogadas
Kilo and a half of tomatoes, half a cup of water, one onion and a half, two cloves of garlic, a teaspoon of oregano .... this is what you need to enjoy this delicacy, ahh! And do not forget the typical birote bread! Although you can currently consume it in all the state of Jalisco, in Guadalajara it is where it has more presence, you will be able to find it at every corner!
