Even today, the downtown area of Guadalajara is filled with charming Colonial
buildings dating from the 1600's. Guadalajara today, is fast becoming a
center for many industries that have recently entered Mexico as a result
of NAFTA. (North American Free Trade Agreement) Many international companies
have chosen Guadalajara as their home base, instead of the capital of Mexico
City, because of the quality of life it offers and its strategic location.
Whether you are thinking of visiting Guadalajara as a tourist or opening
a business there, the city has much to offer. Many foreigners have even
chosen Guadalajara as the location for their retirement. The city has one
of the largest colonies of foreigners (mostly American and Canadian) of
any city in the world. The Tapatios (the name for the locals) are proud
of their beautiful city and eager to introduce you to its beauty and charm.
The museums, art centers, the Degollado Theater, the beautiful city parks,
churches and exciting markets will fill your days with sights and sounds
of Mexico that you will never forget! Incidently, the name Guadalajara comes
from the Arabic or Moorish word, "Wad-al-jidara" which means "river of stones".
