Anybody live in Guadalajara, Mexico?

Question

What can you tell me about it? My husband works for a company and wants to transfer there, but I'm not too sure about it. I was in Puerto Vallarta once for 9 weeks, in a town called Pitillal, and liked it, but I was also in Mexico City once for 5 days and hated it! I couldn't leave fast enough. What's it like in Guad?

Answer 2

I´ve been living here since 1989. If you liked El Pitillal, that for my own preferences is ugly, you'll love Guadalajara for sure. I think we are getting more american everytime. We have all the comfort that you have in the States and I think that you'll love it for sure. If you need anything specific to know, please feel free to contact me at [e-mail]

Guadalajara is the capital city of the state of Jalisco and it is also the second most populated city in Mexico.

This attractive city is considered by some to be the "most Mexican" city, and the capital of Jalisco, the "most Mexican" state. Guadalajara is also the home to one of the most popular and beloved soccer teams in Mexico.

The Municipality of Guadalajara is the most populated in Jalisco with 1,646,183 inhabitants.

The city refers to itself as the Silicon Valley of Mexico. Such high-technology companies as General Electric, Intel, Hitachi, Hewlett Packard, Siemens, Flextronics and Solectron have facilities in the city or its suburbs.

Guadalajara is also a major trade, transport and communication center. It is an important touristic destination center in itself and serves as an axis of an array of nearby touristic destinations (Puerto Vallarta, Manzanillo, Mazatlan).

Guadalajara is well connected by modern highways to Mexico City, to the Northwest and to the major beach resorts of Manzanilo and Puerto Vallarta. Guadalajara's airport is the fourth more active of the country (after Mexico City, Cancun and Monterrey) with direct flights to many Mexican and American cities. It also has a lively and distinctive network of car-free streets.

Most people from Guadalajara are known as tapatíos. As in the rest of the country, tapatios are mostly mestizos (blend of Spaniard and Amerindian) and Catholic.There is, however, a large population of people of German, Slavic, and French ancestry in Guadalajara as well. There is an important American community in nearby Ajijic. A relatively important national evangelical church (Iglesia de la Luz del Mundo) has its headquarters in this city.

Although Tapatios are best known as conservative, tolerance to a diversity of beliefs and preferences is increasing.
