Don´t drink the water...the beer will get jealous
by cybercutie
One thing to remember when you go to the nightclubs in Guadalajara, is that the drinks can be as expensive as they are in Canada or the United States. However, the beer is still cheaper than the hard alcohol, sometimes costing half as much. In one particular upperclass nightclub, for example, a shot of tequila was 70 pesos ($6.50 US), but a bottle of Sol was only 35 pesos. AND be sure when you order hard alcohol, you know what brand you are getting...if not, they will give you the most expensive and your wallet will be emptied before your bladder is...
catalan food
by patricia1.nunez about el cargol
Great atmosphere in this little, cozy and well located restaurant that specializes en the new wave of "slow food", all dishes are made from fresh ingreadients and from scratch that the reason taht takes a little longer to enjoy this nice exemples of food from east spain. owners and chef are really nice they take their time to talk to customers and explain recipes.. good prices. only 2 parking spaces . I only tried canelones barcelones,, canelonnis filled with kidney, chicken, beef meat converted into a paté , bechamel sauce and cheese. they have also paella and other regional dishes from Barcelona´s area.

"Sierra Madre in Background of Lake Chapala"
Lake Chapala is the largest lake in all of Mexico. It is only 50kms. away from Metropolitan Guadalajara which is a beautiful mixture of Modern and Historic architecture rolled into one!

It is definitely a must-see if you are ever near Guadalajara. So close and yet seems so far away from city life!
