Looking for Guadalajara Recommendations!

by Mary Jo Manzanares on June 22nd, 2008

Guadalajara dolls Next month I’ll be going back to Guadalajara, Mexico, a city that I haven’t visited for about 15 years.

What I always loved about Guadalajara, was that it was a “real” city, as opposed to the beach cities.  Although tourism plays an important of the economic fabric of the Guadalajara, the city is also home to several universities, and, along with Mexico City, is a center for international commerce.

I’m sure that a lot of things have changed since I’ve been there, but I remember having a lot of fun shopping at Tlaquepaque, Tonola, Trocadero, and the Mercado Libertad.  And watching the glass blowers, artisans, buying delicious freshly roasted coffee beans, and savoring freshly made tortillas with a cold margarita.

Some of those landmark sites will still be there, of course.  But I know those of those little cafe, bars, and little shops that I loved are probably gone or have changed hands.  I’m going to try to find some of those old favorites, but am hoping that you can help me find some new ones.

Do you have some favorite places in Guadalajara?  A great place for a simple bite to eat and a cold beverage?  Some place that has a nice selection of local art?  The best place to find some nice gift ideas?

Please take a minute to either leave your suggestions in the comments, or email me directly.  I’m hoping you can make my time in Guadalajara the very best that it can be!
