Lucha Libre
When in Guadalajara, be sure to visit the Arena Coliseo for Mexico’s own version of freestyle wrestling: lucha libre. Similar to WWE but even wilder, the sport provides serious entertainment

Life is Sweet at Postreria
Breakfast at Postreria is precious. We went to experience their spectacular line-up of baked magic (mini scones, fruit tarts, macaroons in unusual flavor combinations), and stunning, beautifully created desserts.

Indigenous Art Made by Master Artisans
Del Corazón de la Tierra (Heart of the Earth), was my favorite store in Tlaquepaque. It has a great vibe, lovely helpful staff and a beautiful array of authentic, higher end pieces (furniture, table top, clothes).

Cazuela con Tequila at El Parian
Just a few steps from Del Corazon de la Tierra, you’ll find a courtyard filled with restaurants. At one of them, Peco’s, we learned to make a delicious Cazuela con Tequila, a typical Jalisco cocktail.

Hospicio Cabañas
The only tall structure, the chapel with its vaulted ceilings, houses the incredible murals of José Clemente Orozco. Not surprisingly, the Hospicio Cabaña has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997. It’s a place to marvel at architecture, and use of space.

Mexican Rodeo
One of the most incredible and authentic experiences in Guadalajara was visiting one of the oldest arenas for charros–Mexican cowboys, and -girls, horsemen and -women, dedicated to the art of working with horses and kettle.
