Stop 1
Construction began on July 22, 1878, on the site of the old main plaza, where a market had once stood. Documents show that there was a pillory in the center of the plaza where offenders were punished (as was customary in European cities). Originally, it was a market—in fact, "Parián" means market in Filipino—but when the first canteens were opened in 1905, the building soon changed its purpose.
2
Guadalajara's Historic Center is a historic and tourist neighborhood, considered the heart of the city. Founded in 1542, it houses important historic buildings, plazas, museums, and theaters, as well as being a commercial and educational center.
3
Casa Bariachi opened its doors in 1995, motivated by the desire to offer visitors to Guadalajara, both domestic and international, a place to enjoy the hospitality and service of its people, accompanied by mariachi music and Mexican folklore in its dishes and drinks, all in a celebration filled with color and joy.

The Matute Remus Bridge is now an emblematic work that commemorates an extraordinary man from Jalisco: the urban engineer Jorge Matute Remus.
