Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco, is the second largest city in Mexico, but it ranks No. 1 as the country's most 'Mexican' city. It is one of the principal centers of culture, economy, history, industry and religion in the country and exerts significant influence on the rest of Mexico. Famous traditions such as the hat dance, Mariachi music and tequila were invented here and the city has managed to keep these icons alive. Visitors will find shaded parks, impressive monuments, over 200 museums, dozens of squares overflowing with green, sparkling fountains, pretty tree-lined avenues, colorful markets, crowded malls and a continuous sense of activity. Guadalajara is the grand city of real Mexico, embracing modernity while preserving colonial charm.
