On the Route of the Tequila...

On the Route Of the Tequila....


Hey my friends,

This weekend I made an enjoyable excursion through part of the
Tequila Region to the beautiful city of Guadalajara the capital
of the state of Jalisco in Mexico.

To do a trip like this by car you have to take your time and not
as myself just drive through. I have to tell you that my main
purpose was to get to Guadalajara.
As I don't like to drive that much on Autobahn(Expressway)
because of the monotony I really hate. I tell you it is much
more interesting to drive through the old colorful small
colonial towns.

It's quite a while since I have chosen this route and I can
tell you that this route is a very nice and unforgettable
journey.
In this trip I drove through small cities like 'La Piedad',
'Degollado', 'Ayotlan' and 'Atotonilco'.

The latter town has famous tequila branches like 'Don Julio',
'Siete Leguas', 'El Viejito' and so on. Only in this town
there are a lots of branches with famous Tequila names.


Before passing through Atotonilco you drive through a beautiful
picturesque town called 'Degollado'. This town is famous for the
sculpted statues of animals, palm trees and fountains made of
'Cantera' (Quarry) a red colored stone. There you can look for a
statue for your house or garden. Since I haven't seen this
little town for a long time I was pleasantly surprised about the
change this town has seen. The buildings look colorful with the
recent painted exteriors. The restored colonial buildings near
the center of the town gives you a feeling of going back to the
colonial time.
I assure you that it was worth going of the expressway and drive
through this region.

After a few hours drive I arrived finally at my destination.
When staying a few days in Guadalajara you can enjoy with some
tours the City and the surroundings of this beautiful city and
its friendly habitants.
There is a 'Tequila Tour which brings you to tequila
distilleries, tequila tasting(with lunch and drinks included.
This visit will bring you to the beautiful hacienda where you
can see the typical 'blue agaves' which is used for producing the
famous tequila.

There are other tours where you step into the 17th century at
the magnificent 'Hacienda El Carmen’ which shows you in a private
tour this huge estate.

The City by night and the tours in and nearby the city will give
you a lot of nice impressions of the people and their way of
life.


Talk to you soon
