DONT MISS - MEXICAN HACIENDAS IN JALISCO AND GDL.

by SerSol

We love the haciendas and their history, is the best way of finding the "real old Mexico" .
These amazing, restored historical mansions dating as far back as 1622 have been turned into luxurious hotels. There are eight scattered around the state of Jalisco, always in rural areas or small towns, just waiting to be discovered by the more adventurous tourist. Ranging from 60 USD per night. to all inclusive resort rates of $250 a night, they offer options limited only by your budget.

Mercado Libertad

by scott_dallas

This is supposed to be the largest market in the western hemisphere. There are stalls here selling everything under the sun, clothes, cologne, stereo equipment, luggage, pets, produce, and on and on and on. It is incredible, it takes up a city block and has 4 levels.

In the center on the lower floor is a huge food court with, oh I'd say at least 50 stalls selling all kind of fresh Mexican food. I ate at one of them and had 3 different kinds of taco's. One of them was pork, the other 2 I'm not sure : ) but they were all good.
