The 2nd biggest city in Mexico, Guadalajara is the ideal place to dive into Mexican culture and traditions.

My suggestion

Relax, have lunch in the market, and get used to the crowds of people you see in the place.

Guadalajara (easier to write than pronounce) is the capital city of the state of Jalisco, which lies midway up Mexico's west coast. It's the last large city you encounter before heading into the less populated areas in the north.

My suggestion

Guadalajara is enlivened by a festive atmosphere all year round. The most exhilarating and exciting events take place in October.
