We've seen people clash when talking about what "real" Mexico is. I think that's because there's a merging of the old and the new, in terms of both infrastructure and traditions. I think you're right in that Guadalajara has managed to make them coexist. We have a lot more of the city to explore and are really excited for what's to come!
Thanks for your wonderful comment :)
Hi @tangerinetravels Thank you very much. It is this tremendous cultural and economic diversity, distributed over an enormously complex and varied physical environment, that gives Guadalajara its unique character.
The cathedral, completed in 1618, is richly decorated. Many other churches dating from the colonial period are interspersed with modern industrial and commercial buildings. Cultural institutions of note include the Degollado Theatre, which is one of the largest and most ornate in Latin America; the State Museum of Jalisco (1918); and the Cabañas Hospice, a former 19th-century orphanage (now a museum) that was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997.
Have a nice night.
A hug
