onderfully hospitable, the charms of Mexico’s second largest city are captured in its nicknames — “City of Eternal Spring,” for its near perfect climate, and “City of Roses,” for the fragrant flowers that brighten its splendid plazas and parks. An unhurried pace and the gentility of Old World Mexico are also trademarks of this handsome city.

hought by many to possess the true soul of Mexico, Guadalajara offers fabulous colonial architecture, and is the birthplace of much of what we attribute to Mexican culture — most notably tequila, mariachi music and many popular Mexican dishes. A favorite city pastime is a stroll down Plaza Tapatia, a mile long pedestrian walkway lined with museums, stately buildings, churches and outdoor cafés. Avid shoppers love Guadalajara’s abundance of traditional arts and crafts, ceramics, brass, copperware, hand-blown glass, embroidery, papier mache and leather goods. The suburbs of Tlaquepaque and Tonala are also famous for their folk and fine art shops.
