Guadalajara, capital del estado de Jalisco, es una de las ciudades más importantes de México por su historia, cultura y dinamismo económico. Fundada oficialmente el 14 de febrero de 1542, ha sido testigo de momentos clave de la historia mexicana, desde la Guerra de Independencia hasta la Reforma Liberal. La ciudad es considerada la cuna del mariachi y del tequila, símbolos culturales que han trascendido fronteras y representan a México en el mundo. Su nombre proviene del árabe Wādī al‑Ḥijāra, que significa “valle de piedras” o “valle de fortalezas”, en honor a la ciudad española homónima.
Guadalajara destaca por su arquitectura colonial y moderna, así como por ser un centro tecnológico del occidente de México, conocido como el “Silicon Valley mexicano” por su ecosistema creciente de startups e innovación digital. La ciudad alberga anualmente dos de los eventos culturales más importantes de México: La Feria Internacional del Libro de Guadalajara, considerada la feria del libro en español más grande del mundo. El Festival Internacional de Cine de Guadalajara, uno de los festivales de cine más reconocidos de Latinoamérica. Su zona metropolitana es la segunda más poblada de México, después de Ciudad de México, con más de 5 millones de habitantes según estimaciones de 2026. Lo que no puedes perderte En gastronomía, destacan: el Santo Coyote, en Colonia Americana, donde se puede probar la tradicional carne en su jugo por aproximadamente $15 USD por persona. Para una experiencia más popular, el Mercado San Juan de Dios ofrece tortas ahogadas desde $3 USD. |
