Cultural traditions hold strong in Guadalajara Guadalajara is full of surprises. A cosmopolitan metropolis modern, but authentic and traditional at the same time. Many of things which are typically associated with Mexico have their origins in Jalisco. These include rodeos called charreadas, mariachis, and of course the tequila.

Charrería When the Spanish first settled in colonial Mexico had very large cattle-raising estates and soon the indigenous people known as “vaqueros” became excellent horsemen. Smaller landholders, known as rancheros or ranchers, were the first genuine “charros” and they are credited as the inventors of the charreada. The charro's elaborate costume and trappings reflect the merging of three distinct cultures that create the Mexican cowboy: Arabian, Spanish and indigenous American.

Gentleman cowboys adorned their trousers with silver buttons down the heavily embroidered outside seams. The short jackets and wide-brim, cone- shaped hats were trimmed in a likewise fashion. Today it has become a national sport a multi-colored spectacle.

The charreadas consist of various events demostrating the skill of the rider in roping, handling of his horse, lassoing, or controlling a bull or a wild bronco. For the women there are a precision equestrian even called the “scaramuza” with the participants dressed as “Adelitas” or women of the revolution."

Mariachi It has become synonymous of joy, music and party. The mariachi costume is famous worldwide. Traditional mariachi include guitars the “vihuela”, a high-pitched, round-backed guitar which provides rhythm, and a bass guitar called a “guitarrón”, violins and trumpets. The mariachis use the charro outfit, usually in black with silver-colored buttons and chains running down their pants legs and up their vests, and with the unmistakable large Mariachi hat.

Although there is still much controversy, it seems that this type of musical ensembles were originated in north of the state, in the region of Los Altos de Jalisco. Most legends put the origin of the modern mariachi in the town of Cocula.

The word mariachi was thought to have derived from the French word “mariage" (marriage) dating from the French Intervention in Mexico in the 1860s. The origin of the word is still in dispute but most of the prominent theories state that it has indigenous roots.

In Guadalajara, you may see them playing in a restaurant or bar, or in the traditional Mariachi Plaza, and of course in the famous Parian in Tlaquepaque.

Zapopan Zapopan is the second most populous municipality in the state of Jalisco and ranks seventh in Mexico. The name Zapopan comes from the Nahuatl word “tzapotl” which means among sapote trees. It is known for its architecture, museums, premier shopping centers, major entertainment venues and for having some of the best hotels in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara. Zapopan also has natural outdoor attractions like El Diente and the Bosque de La Primavera (Forest of the Spring), among others.

Annually, a large procession in the image of Our Lady of the Conception’s honor takes place on the 12th of October. Starting at 6 am, the image is carried on the streets from the Guadalajara Cathedral to the Basilica of Zapopan. The streets, including the wide avenue of Manuel Avila Camacho in Zapopan proper, are packed with dancers, vendors selling traditional food and crafts and spectators. The Basilica of Zapopan is considered the third most important pilgrimage center in the country.

The town’s cultural heritage dates back to the origins of Mesoamerica, with the remains of Chiquihuitillo and shaft tombs. The first peoples to live in this area were the Nahua, the Toltecs and the Otomí, and it was part of one of the most importart obsidian trade routes in the area. The village of Santiago de Tequila was founded in 1530 by Cristóbal de Oñate, and it is located about 37 miles west of Guadalajara, approximately one hour drive.

Tequila is surrounded by a unique landscape with bluish-green patches of agave plants, used as a base ingredient of tequila, the renowned Mexican drink. In the evenings and early mornings you can smell the sweet scent of cooked agave, this aroma will captivate your senses.

In 1600, Pedro Sánchez de Tagle decided to build a large scale distilling operation based on a local fermented beverage made with the local agave plant, and the tradition started. He also introduced the idea of cultivating this plant, native to the region, on a mass scale.
