Answer 1

Guadalajara. It's a beautiful city and while modern, retains its colonial charm.

Guadalajara is in Jalisco state, which is the cultural heart of Mexico. It's the home of mariachi music and tequila. It's famed for the beauty of its Tapatia women.

Be sure to get out to Tlaquepaque and Tonala, which are suburbs famed for their artisan crafts. You can buy some beautiful Mexican crafts (or just browse) and then find your way to a plaza where you can have lunch or dinner and be seranded by mariachis. You could also take a ride north of the city to Tequila, the home of the famous liquor. Here you can tour tequila distilleries and sample an amazing variety of tequila flavors.

For nightlife in the city, there are several clubs and restaurants. Ask your hotel for suggestions.

If you had more time, you could drive out into the countryside and visit a hacienda or even head over to Puerto Vallarta.

Guadalajara is absolutely beautiful. IMHO, it's MUCH more charming than Monterrey.
