Short quick stop in Tequila, Jalisco to celebrate Mexico’s Independence Day.

things to do at this colonial town:

Get lost in the streets.

Visit the mercados, where you can find great tasty and cheap food. For example, sopes and tacos dorados! Don’t forget spicy salsas!

They’re a bunch of tequila house companies around the place. The one I visited was Orendain, which I recommend to go and explore.

Though Jose Cuervo is a top one!

A tour to visit this tequila houses are around $200 pesos but with a little of confidence and work you can do it for $100..

So yes, after being a couple of months in Baja California, Baja Sur, Sinaloa, and Nayarit…Jalisco turns to be awesomely cheap!

You can run a day with less than $150-200 pesos and that includes; sopes , beer, accomodation, and of course…tequila!

Pack your bag and fly!

Viva Mexico!

Celebrating Mexico’s Independence Day at this small big drinking town. Can you guess what is the main drink? Yes, you guessed right! Welcome to Tequila,  Jalisco…a funky colonial town 70 km away from Guadalajara where drinking all kind of tequila and eating great tasty food is a good problem both for locals and tourists!

 

I had to be asap in Tequila, Jalisco for Mexico’s Independence Day so the best option to arrive on time was to hitchhike.

The result, 50km cycle and 3 different hitchhikes.

Mexico is safe. Cycle all the way or ask for a ride or two!

Tip: Grab a big cardboard and write with black letters the destination you want to go to.

Wave a lot to drivers and keep a good smile in your face but above all be patient and positive about it!

There is no tricky formula for this but just like life…strong desire and energy will get you everything you want!

positive plus positive equals positive.

Go for it!
