GUADALAJARA
This is a big city that looks and feels like the country. Year round Spring temperatures, ever flowering sprawling gardens and park make it seem more like a giant country club than Mexico's second largest city. This is the home of several famous Mexican phenomena: Mariachis, the leather throated musicians who belt out songs at the drop of a sombrero; Tequila, the heady national drink; and the Mexican Hat Dance, "Jarabe Tapatio," and Charros, talented equiestrians. The whole area has an Old World air of colonial charm and grace.
