For Bill’s birthday, Ana, Phil and I took him to the Fish Market in Guadalajara on a
Saturday. We'd all heard about the wonderful fish available
there and we'd been looking forward to visiting the market.
The market is actually in Zapopan -- (pronounced "Za-PO-pan"), which is both a
large municipal region comprising much of the western edge of metropolitan
Guadalajara and the small old town center of Zapopan northwest of the
Minerva-Chapultepec area. Zapopan the region comprises several shopping malls (
Plaza
Patria,
Plaza Galerias,
La Gran Plaza, among others), the
Mercado
del Mar (Sea Market) where you can eat fish and seafood for a reasonable
price, as well as
downtown Zapopan where you can find many bars and
cantinas.
