Tequila, Mexico
So What's it Like in Tequila?
Tequila is happy. Tequila is fun. Tequila is a really good time that you will absolutely not regret. I have friends in Guadalajara who first suggested I check out Tequila. Initially I was really disinterested. I don't really drink tequila (not since that one time when I was 17 and well, threw up a lot, and claimed 'never again').
But after a few more friends mentioned it, I decided to give it a go. I also knew I didn't want to go for just a day trip. I wanted to stay for at least a couple days to really get a feel of the city. It was the best decision I could have made.I was traveling alone, so I was unsure how traveling to a place literally named for a boozy nightmare could turn out. I was pleasantly surprised.
Walking around Tequila on my first day, I couldn't help but be infected by the general merriment of the place. Everyone seems to be on the border between almost tipsy and very tipsy. Laughing, joking, singing, trying crickets in the street. Tequila is not a big town so everything is mostly concentrated around the main plaza. Grab yourself a cantarito and enjoy the people watching!
A lot of Tapatios (people from Guadalajara) like to come for a weekend, or just a day trip, as it's quite close.
When is the Best Time to Visit?
Any guide to Tequila might tell you the "best" months would be February, March, and April. This is not a high tourist season, so there won't be as many people. It will also be hot, but not too hot. Rainy season begins in June, so you'll be avoiding that as well. But you can't always control when you go. So don't let the "best time" deter you. In Tequila, you're guaranteed to have a blast no matter what the season.
