sparks Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Was thinking of 3 days the week of the 25th coming up from the beach for shopping. People leave or converge on Guadalajara over SS. Reservations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rony Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi, I have lived in Guadalajara (end of the nineties, 2000, 2001, 2003,.... and I can tell you that Easter is actually the busiest time of the year in Guadalajara. The plazas are really crowded. It seems that a lot of tapatios leave the city but a lot more tourists from outside Guad will visit this beautiful city. best regards, Rony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

privado Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Agree with Rony- I used to come to visit during Semana Santa- always stayed in Centro and it was busy- especially the religious sites and plazas. However, the staff at Costco told me it's one of their slowest 2 weeks of the year- and here in Zapopan "the burbs" 3/4 of my neighbors are gone for a least a week, if not more -many to homes in Puerta Vallarta and Chapala. Incredibly, now know 4 Mexican families, who have homes or relatives who have homes that were my closest neighbors when I lived at Lakeside-never even saw them when I lived there. Malls like Andares are not busy and many restaurants also shut down for the first week. Tapitio's are world travelers- last week several friends where talking about - going on a cruise, trips to San Francisco and Napa, Las Vegas, Israel & Jordon- Skiing in Aspen, or their apts. in La Jolla-SanDiego to go shopping, they use this time to travel with their older kids because of the 2 week school vacation.
