City overview
Guadalajara is the highland capital of Jalisco where mariachi, tequila country, colonial plazas, murals, ceramics, and a modern tech-and-university economy share the same metro map. The practical visitor route runs from Centro Historico and Hospicio Cabanas to Avenida Chapultepec, Tlaquepaque, Tonala, Providencia, and Zapopan.
Food & drink
Guadalajara food is Jalisco-specific: tortas ahogadas, birria, carne en su jugo, pozole rojo, jericalla, tejuino, tacos dorados, and tequila or raicilla. Mercado Libertad, Santa Tere, Las Nueve Esquinas, Avenida Chapultepec, Tlaquepaque, and Zapopan restaurants make the first food map.
