    Wanna be a cowboy?
    One other fashion that is strongly present in Guadalajara are cowboys and leather products. You can go in a shop and come out dressed as a genuine cowboy, wearing leather boots with spurs, cowboy hat (sombrero) and nice bright belt. You can add some jeans and shirts and you have great souvenire from Mexico that you can acctually use at home (if not otherwise, for fashing ;-))

    When buying, look in several shops as the prices vary. And quality also.

    Central Marketplace: Leather Goods and Blankets
    Pedestrian Bridge Leading to the Mercado - Guadalajara
    Pedestrian Bridge Leading to
    the Mercado

    Near the center of town, you can ask around, and be directed to the central marketplace, or mercado, where there are several floors jammed with vendor booths selling all manner of handcrafts and other stuff which tourists love. There's a pedestrian bridge that crosses a main boulevard to reach it, that's all I can recall within the confusion of the central district, but it wasn't really not a difficult walk from the central plaza area. It's better to buy here than in places like Puerto Vallarta where the prices are likely to be considerably higher. Mexican boots, belts, wallets, and other leather goods are a good buy. The colorful Indian blankets, that are thick enough to serve as a rug, are also on display in a wide variety here. Also, woman may want to browse the embroidered and colorful peasant dresses, among other things.

    Las Puertas: Furniture in Tonala
    At first we were happy to get some of our furishings here. But after returning and trying to get our house furnished, we kept having problems. They were slow about having things ready when they said and on a couple items, they made it wrong. I had a desk made and I wanted a guitar carved in the front with my name across the top. Well they carved Bass, annotating the guitar not my name. But I took it anyway. THen we asked for an ottoman to match our sofa, and they took an extra week to make and made it the wrong color. I dont think we will but anything else from there.

    There are many shops in the Tonala area that have the same style items. After shopping there many times we found our way around to some other shops and found better prices. If you plan to stay here, shop around.

    Look around well, especially if you want some bigger items. And many shops are open to haggle. You can always go down the street and find the same thing.

  • Directions: From the interstate turn right at the first light and look foa a sign with Jim morrison on it. THen go across the street and shop. Or elsewhere.

    Lots of shos in the center: Wedding dresses
    Walking through Guadalajara center I just couldn't miss many shops with women wedding dresses. There where so many I wonder how allof them can have enough costumers for survival.
    So, I guess, wedding is still one of the most important events in a girls life over there. But it's interesting, that I didn't notice so many (if any) shops in other towns in Mexico. Maybe is Guadalajara just the most romantic city in Mexico :-)
