Tlaquepaque

"Tlaquepaque is a charming town located in the Mexican state of Jalisco, known for its rich cultural heritage, colonial architecture, and colorful traditions. It is considered to be a Pueblo Magico. With its cobblestone streets, lively markets, and bustling art scene, Tlaquepaque offers visitors a unique glimpse into the heart of Mexico's artistic and cultural identity. You can take the pink train line from the centro to "Tlaquepaque Centro." From there, you'll need to walk about 10 minutes to the center of town. The cost is $9.50 pesos. The machines don't give change, so make sure you have the exact amount. A few things you can see in Tlaquepaque: - Parroquia de San Pedro (a church) - Casa del Artesano (market) - Andador Independencia (main walking street where there are a ton of over priced restaurants and cafes). - Jardin Hidalgo (the main plaza) - El Parián (a round building full of expensive restaurants. There is an umbrella roof in the center plaza). - Centro Cultural El Refugio (Cultural Center) - Museo Regional de la Cerámica (Ceramic museum) It will probably be quite hot when you go, so try to get there in the morning before the heat hits, or in the afternoon as the sun loses power. There isn't a lot of shade except for indoors, so wear spf and be prepared. It's possible to do this in one day, along with Tonalá, but it will be a tiring day. Lots of walking."

"A short drive from the city center, Tlaquepaque is a charming artisan village known for its pottery, handblown glass, and other crafts. The colorful streets are lined with galleries, boutiques, and cafés, making it a perfect place to explore at a leisurely pace. Don’t miss the chance to visit the El Parián, a picturesque square surrounded by traditional mariachi bands."

" Tlaquepaque is famous for its beautiful, hand-painted pottery. In the Nahuatl language, the name actually means “place above clay land.” A friend recommended me to get on the el tapatio bus."
