Tour Guadalajara

I think that I've spent about as much time wandering the streets of Guadalajara as any gringo. From Arroyo Hondo to downtown to upscale neighborhoods near the Plaza de Sol, I love the city and its people. Here's a nice picture tour of some of the primary sites in the city, including Zapopan and Tonala. I lived up in Colonia Tabachines which was just north of the Anillo Periferico, west of the Auditorio. Many wonderful people live there. I would regularly walk to the Belenes campus of the University of Guadalajara where I spent time doing some collaborative research on the public administration of irregular settlements. Our second week in town was spent near the Plaza Minerva shown to the right. Each October, they have a large fiesta and parade which we attended.
