Mexico Plog Episode 3 — A Fleeting Glimpse of Guadalajara

📸 Half-Day Wanderings in Guadalajara | Colonial Architecture, Murals & Tequila Through Time 📍 Dawn at a Landmark of Faith | Guadalajara Cathedral (Catedral de Guadalajara) ✅Neoclassical twin towers: Weather-beaten walls dating to 1542 hide gilded altars and stained-glass lightplay. Sunday bells ring alongside spontaneous mariachi performances. 📍 Temple of Murals & Wandering Poets | Instituto Cultural Cabañas (Hospicio Cabañas) ✅World Heritage art sanctuary: An 18th-century hospice transformed, crowned by Orozco’s epic dome mural The Man of Fire—blood-red visuals reimagining Latin American history. 💫Architectural easter egg: The cloister’s "light well" design makes noon sunlight cascade like divine intervention ✨ (Entry ~¥60, closed Mondays). 📍 Cultural Collision in a Mixed Neighborhood | Teatro Degollado 📷Mexico’s oldest opera house: Neoclassical columns meet gilded relief domes. We caught Carmen rehearsals—pair the experience with a "tequila latte" at corridor cafés. #WorldHeritageCity #OperaHouse #GuadalajaraCathedral
