The nearby suburbs of Tlaquepaque and Tonal are world famous for their exquisite folk and fine art traditions. The area is particularly famous for fine ceramics, pottery, blown glass, brass, copper and leather goods. Excursions to villages surrounding Guadalajara showcase the State's rural flavor and diverse natural beauty. Of particular interest are the villages on shore of Lake Chapala, Mexico's largest freshwater lake. Overall, Guadalajara is more affordable than the major beach resorts.
Lodging is outstanding- from colonial inns to high rise deluxe hotels.
Dining is excellent, though nightlife is a bit slow. Golf and tennis facilities are first rate. All rights reserved.
