Mercado Libertad, also known as San Juan de Dios, is a massive indoor market in Guadalajara where you can find a wide variety of goods including food, clothing, handicrafts, and electronics. The market boasts a huge food court offering an array of local delicacies such as torta ahogada, birria, pozole, fish ceviche, and traditional Mexican breakfast dishes.
You can basically find anything you'd want at this informal market, from sombreros down to chickens! The market has a very nice food section as well, with dozens of stands preparing local cuisine. Prepare to battle some traffic to get here, though, especially on weekends!
Tiaan S — Google review
I enjoy exploring places that truly capture the authentic ethnic and cultural atmosphere. As the largest indoor market in Latin America, I was excited to visit this historic marketplace. I loved wandering through the countless small stalls, savoring the diverse aromas and tastes of various foods, and marveling at the colorful, exotic fruits. The warm, attentive vendors made the experience even more memorable. Definitely a must place to visit while in Guadalajara.
Insoo O — Google review
This place is a huge maze. Saddle, electronics, food, meat, pet birds, trinkets, soany shoes, and more. I know I didn't see all of it. I kept getting lost and seeing some of the same things more than twice. Definitely plan to spend a few hours here.
David B — Google review
Huge Market! Extremely crowded on the weekends so if you'd like to experience the market in it's full glory then go on the weekend. Mingling with the people and navigating the maze of stalls and food vendors when it's crowded is a definite thing to do. However, if you want to take your time and explore the market go during a weekday when it's not as hectic. Lots of goods for sale and some will even haggle. Numerous leather goods from shoes to saddles.

Lots of crafts worth the trip just to look around. Also, lots of fake designer stuff.

It was interesting to walk around and I would go back again, but compared to mercados like Mercado el 100 in Mexico City, it's not that great. We had a delicious tortas, though.

Hundreds of merchandise stalls and dozens of small restaurants. So hard to choose what to eat. We both had a deep fried tilapia for breakfast a some sugar cane juice in the northern courtyard. A pretty old looking building. The common areas were a little bit dirty but all the vendor stalls were very clean. We would go back.

Bosque Los Colomos is a popular destination in Guadalajara, offering a wide range of activities for visitors. This urban forest and natural park boasts walking paths, picnic areas, and striking landscaping. One of its main attractions is the well-maintained Japanese Garden, providing an authentic experience for those interested in the city's history. The park also features romantic bridges, a small dam, and various trails that are perfect for leisurely strolls or bike rides.
The park itself is nice, but the real reason to visit is the Japanese Gardens. Idyllic, and beautifully maintained. Great destination for a short run or to stretch your legs.

This is a really beautiful park in the middle of the city and in the middle of a nice and safe neighborhood. I got there in public transportation, is not that difficult to get there and is definitely worth it. Is not that big but you can definitely spend a nice afternoon in this place full of squirrels!!! And the entrance is free :)
Diana H — Google review
Very impressed, did not expect the scenery. Be prepared to walk, there are many squirrels so be careful and cautious. The park is free, paid parking and also paid tours available.

Free to enter - pay a fee if you park your vehicle here. The park is so lovely and peaceful. We got there early on a Sunday morning and the vibes were great. Everyone seems to be in a relaxed and kind mood. The animals here are accustomed to people, the squirrels are used to being fed because they run right up to people. It is a nice break from the noisy and chaotic city. I would recommend checking this park out.

One of the best parks I have ever been too. The layout and design of the complex routes that you can take is amazing for running an/or meditating and just enjoying your time there. The park has so many places to explore and find and you can find people dancing, practicing kickboxing, doing yoga, meditating etc... great place overall.

Teatro Degollado stands as a stunning example of neoclassical architecture in Guadalajara, Mexico, and is a true cultural gem in the heart of Jalisco. This magnificent theater not only showcases exquisite design but also serves as the home for the Jalisco Philharmonic Orchestra. It plays host to an array of significant cultural events, including the National Traditional Mariachi Encounter and the Cultural Festival of May.
Very beautiful, amazing theatre. Orquesta Filarmónica de Jalisco had a wonderful concert. Really unforgettable experience for us.
Ari L — Google review
The teatro Degollado is a mid-19 century jewel built in 1856-1866. It has gone through many renovation throughout the century. It was originally called teatro Alarcón, in honor of the classical playwright Juan Ruiz de Alarcón. After the Reform wars(1857-1861) the governor Pedro Ogazon changed the name to Santos Degollado,former governor and general who died in battle in 1861. Most of the renovations of the theater were done to improve the interior design and reinforce the roof of the building. Between 1953-1959 artist Roberto Montenegro designed and crafted the mosaic of Apollo and the Nine Muses on the theaters pediment. 16 Corinthian columns support the pediment. The theater is now home of the Jalisco Philharmonic and the place of high artistic performances. Book your private tours of Guadalajara with me! And let’s explore Guadalajara together!

The Rotunda of Jalisco's Illustrious Ones is a monument built in 1952 which commemorates the most famous sons and daughters of the state of Jalisco. If you're looking to take a break from Guadalajara's bustling Historic Centre, then this is a great place to do so. There are busts of famous people from Jalisco here, as well as a beautiful park to relax in.
A great place, next to the Cathedral Guadalajara, where to take a respite in this amazing city of GDL. Beautiful sculptures and buildings that add to GDL and it's incredible art available to the public. Take a stroll, bike, exercise or sit on the benches and take in the beautiful city, it's people and tourists. 👍👍

Tequila, located just an hour's drive northwest of Guadalajara, is a charming town nestled in a volcanic valley surrounded by endless fields of blue agave. This spiky plant is the key ingredient for Mexico's famous spirit. One of the main attractions in Tequila is the 200-year-old Jose Cuervo distillery, where visitors can take a train ride and tour the facilities while enjoying traditional snacks and plenty of tequila.

Plaza de los Mariachis is a charming square located in the city center of Guadalajara, known for its bronze statue, fountain, and live mariachi music. The plaza embodies the spirit of Guadalajara's rich culture and serves as a hub for the iconic Mariachi bands that serenade the city with their unique and legendary music. Every year, it hosts the International Mariachi Festival, attracting around 500 Mariachis from all over to celebrate this musical tradition.
I don't recommend going there at night since there are a lot of homeless that tend to stick around there at night. During the day it is absolutely lovely and beautiful. We went at night not knowing the condition we were in a large group so it wasn't a problem.
Mariyah V — Google review
Dissapointing and I wouldn't say it's safe for tourists. We accidentally went at night time whilst finding our way around, as a group of 4 and felt unsafe, a lot of homeless people and the streets were very dirty. We went back the next day in the hopes it would be better in the daytime and unfortunately it wasn't. I felt very aware that I was a tourist, none of the Mariachi were performing (perhaps as it wasn't a busy season) but it was still just as dirty. There are some beautiful places in Guadalajara and this isn't one of them
Ashleigh M — Google review
The place itself was not what I expected at all, in a bad way. I came here on a Tuesday at 8 pm (maybe I could’ve come sooner) there were barely any people, too much mariachis and everything was closed. There were also a lot of homeless people laying down and dirt everywhere. I came thinking it was going to be a big place but it was not, the monuments are really nice though; so if you were looking to take some pictures, then I recommend to take the photos in front of them. If you want to get a full experience out of this, maybe try going on the weekend and not on weekdays. I came and left quickly but I still picked up the bad smell.

Hospicio Cabañas, located in Guadalajara's historic center, is a renowned 18th-century complex that has transitioned from a facility for the needy to a hub of art and culture. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it now houses the Instituto Cultural Cabañas, showcasing an extensive collection of contemporary Mexican artworks, including pieces by Jose Clemente Orozco and French artist Daniel Buren.
I highly recommend anyone coming to Guadalajara to make a visit to this museum. Tuesdays are free. The murals in the chapel are breathtaking and should not be missed. As well, there are several exhibition rooms that showcase a variety of art and genres.

A mixed bag. Tickets are affordable and available, there is hardly a line to enter the place. The interior houses a few photo galleries, with rotating expositions, and not much else. The central building with it's high vaulted ceilings and frescoes is the main attraction. It is peaceful though and at times you will find yourself alone in this huge complex.

Really dont like rating so low but besides the history of the building there are few unimpressive exhibits. Orozco murals are good, if cost was lower perhaps 2 stars. Didn't understand massive historical building, nice courtyards, yet so little to see for 110 pesos. Was a large group of important people back of building closed off didnt help the experience.

With it's long history as an hospice and culture space this colonial jem helds different contemporary art exhibitions and one of the mos extraordinary murales in México.

GDLUZ festival was the Jam although if you didn't have your special someone definitely would have felt left out there were a lot of couples...well it was also fun with the family and groups of friends specially with face painting so it can glow in the UV light dancing with the crowd and watching the traditional dances.

Beautiful place!! Since these pictures were taken in July during the rainy season the mountains are green and stunning!! This is the perfect place for a picnick!!!

A nice paved walkway leading to breathtaking canyon views alongside a park with BBQ grills. No services though. No hiking areas which is a bit disappointing. Worth stopping by if you’re going to the zoo or generally in the area but not as a sole destination.

Wow! The view of the canyon is incredible and you can spot birds, squirrels and iguanas besides all of the diverse plant life! I also appreciate that this park, albeit a little run down, is well equipped with walkways, play areas, basketball court, picnic tables and public restrooms (5 pesos). Easy to get to from San Juan via the metrobus. Next time I visit, I would like to find the nearby trail to descend to the river!

Parqué Mirador is a magnificent park with a grand entrance, once inside the first thing you come upon is a statue of Miguel Hidalgo the father of the independence of Mexico. The statue sits on top of a tiny green knoll, and behind it lies the walkway to the lookout. The walkway to the lookout itself is lined with these gorgeous green trees that give off lots of shade. Once at the lookout you will be treated with glorious views of the canyon, there you will see the awesome power of nature. Here the earth has been pushed up and a river has carved a deep canyon. Sitting at about 5000 feet the gaps between the canyons are impressive and if you keep your eyes open you might even spot an Iguana. People of all ages come to enjoy the park, it's a wonderful place to bring the family or that special someone the views are breath taking, there are restrooms and also a resturant.

Parque Agua Azul is a must-visit destination in Guadalajara, Mexico. This expansive park offers a range of attractions for families and travelers alike. As you enter the park, you'll be greeted by lush green spaces, tranquil water ponds, and plenty of seating areas to relax and unwind. The park features an outdoor theater known as la concha (the shell), where visitors can enjoy live performances.
Entrance to this park is free. It has a very nice bicycle trail and has some interesting things to see such as a butterfly enclosure, parrot enclosure, and a natural history museum. All these are totally free admission.

A real jewel with fully functioning free public restrooms (be sure to grab TP if needed by the wash basins as there isn't any in the stalls). It is fenced and gated as it does close early in the evening but it was free to enter on a Thursday afternoon. A peaceful place with many benches and quiet spots despite being in the middle of Guadalajara. There is a massive bird aviary filled with healthy exotic birds. It was locked when I visited but you could look in from the outside and some of the more curious birds would come up to you. There is also an equally massive butterfly enclosure just inside the main gate, also locked but it appears that it is set up for visitors to walk through as is the aviary so possibly some days it is open to walk inside. There are a couple of staged areas for shows or concerts, the smaller one has a roof over it. The entire park has paved trails throughout and there is also a museum (closed too). The "Agua Azul" is in the form of a tranquil pond with a fountain. The tall trees are home to large wild green parrots and squirrels.

Selva Mágica is a prominent amusement park in Guadalajara, offering a wide range of attractions suitable for both kids and adults. From gentle carousels to thrilling roller coasters, the park caters to visitors of all ages and preferences. It's known for its exciting rides, including the adrenaline-pumping Bullet. Additionally, the park features various games and food options, making it an ideal destination for families.
We listened to the reviews and did not give the VIP pass. There didn't seem to be any reason to get a VIP pass. It was a lot of fun. Most of the rides were open and there were no lines. The bullet was under construction. Watch out for the Titan ride. The start of it is extremely jerky!

I would give it a 5 Stars but there were some games that are popular that were out of service even though a day before were working. But other than that everything was great, bring sunscreen. I do want to mention that you are not allowed to bring your own drinks or food, and the store inside is really expensive. One thing that you should be aware of is that male staff are entitled to enter the women's bathroom even when there are little girls going alone.

Fever dream like place. Let me make this clear: the park is really abandoned on its biggest part; most of the arcades are closed or "being repaired" but some have been closed for over two years. Some are just closed for maintenance; hence why we couldn't go on the biggest roller coaster of the park. The open rides were fun but I was with a group of friends that were aware that it was going to be a strange place to visit so expectations were low! They couldn't honestly rebrand the entire park as an scary abdonded theme park and it would work better. The zip line was super fun! But you're not allowed to go with your phone and the people assigned to get pictures during our shift were out for lunch: disappointing! The price is super low so I'm guessing that's the reason as to why the park is such on a bad shape. Kind of sad because it does have a lot of potential, specially since it's next to the zoo. Honestly I wouldn't go again and wouldn't recommend it for little kids but for friends that are looking to do something weirdly fun, I think it's a great plan. I went on a weekday so the park was empty, which made it even more creepy. There's honestly nothing special besides the memories you'll make with the people you go with.

It's a great place to go if you have little kids, the ride selection is good for the kids but the one for the adults is limited most of the rides are out of service, the price for the ticket is pretty affordable, there is plenty of parking and there is a good selection of food outside the main entrance if you don't want to eat in the park.

Fun, small amusement park in Guadalajara. It is next to the zoo, but you won't have time to see both in one day. The park includes a couple small roller coasters, and a log ride. There is a seaseme street themed area with many rides for young children. Ticket prices vary from basic to full experience, depending on what you want to do. They have some fun zip lines. The restaurants are good, and a hamburger combo will cost about $7. You can get a cold beer for $2.50. One day is enough to do everything. I went on a Sunday, and the line wait time was anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes depending on the ride.

This theme park is tasteless. The attractions are few and even so, many are not available whether they are under maintenance or closed due to the pandemic. The attractions are pained with some Sesame Street themes and they squeezed every bit of them in the attractions. Attractions that had nothing to do with the Sesame Street characters were plagued with them, it felt forced, like if the attractions were bought , like some flying dragons and then make it like the Elmo dragons, it felt cheap in some instances. The staff was kind but sometimes when photos are in the table they push you to buy the photos suddenly. Despite that the pricing is fair if you get yourself a bargain, but it is like three or 4 good attractions, more like halfway theme park.

Don’t buy the VIP during the week as all adults games don’t respect the vip pass and you will have to wait in line. Too many games are not working for maintenance. I wasted my money and time for playing 3 games only. So boring and I wouldn’t recommend it

It's a nice place to have fun and there's a lot of mechanical rides, the only think that I didn't like it about this place is the food. There was a terrible long line (even longer than the one for the attractions) and after all the line they sent me to another page to make a line again. So regardless of that I strongly recommend you to get the VIP pass so you can save a lot of time and enjoy more games.

isn’t just a market — it’s an adventure. You might walk in looking for a quick snack and come out with a leather belt, a molcajete, fake Yeezys, and a belly full of tacos. And you’ll be weirdly proud of it. This place has everything. It’s like Amazon came to life, sprinkled with chili powder and mariachi vibes. You’ll get lost in the maze of vendors, only to find yourself blissfully eating birria that tastes like it was made by someone’s abuelita with magical powers. Pro tip: wear comfy shoes, bring cash, and save room for dessert… or a second lunch. Bonus points if you leave with something you didn’t know you needed (like a wrestling mask or a full-size cowboy hat).

Visitors can explore this historic site for free and take in its significance within just 10 to 20 minutes. The route to the bridge is short but incredibly interesting, making it a recommended visit for those intrigued by its rich past.

The Juan José Arreola Public Library, located in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, is a cultural institution dedicated to promoting reading and providing access to information. Named after the renowned Mexican writer Juan José Arreola, this library offers a diverse collection of books across seven stories. Visitors can explore different literary genres and even find a self-learning area for languages.
I absolutely loved coming to this local library not far from where I was staying. As a kid, I always drove by this place and wondered what it was, but never in a million years did I think it was a library. I finally had the chance to come and see the inside and pay it a visit. One thing I noticed before entering the building was that it is quite large. The diorama on the wall said there were 7 stories to it, each one containing different kinds of books and literatures. The bottom floor houses a bookstore with an array of genres to choose from and even merchandise sold by the local university. They also had a cafe in the very corner of the bookstore. I continued to go up each level of the building and found the library's collection to be astounding, as they seemed to have books for every single subject and topic possible. They even had a floor dedicated only to books in foreign languages such as English, French and Mandarin. It was really quiet in here as well and made for a peaceful place to come and reflect, journal and read.

Hiking area
Barranca de Huentitán - Capilla y Camino Empedrado offers a challenging 500-meter descent into the stunning canyon that marks Guadalajara's northern edge. The trail features steep, zigzagging paths and leads to the Santiago River at the bottom, where hikers can continue to the picturesque Arcediano Suspension Bridge. It is recommended to wear sturdy shoes with good grip, carry water, and apply sunscreen.
I had the chance to come here today and give this place a look and it was great. I did not know what to expect exactly. All I knew was that this was a hiking trail and that it goes down to the river. Once I get to where the trail begins, I notice that most of the way down is a rocky road. I mean there were rocks just about everywhere so keep this in mind if you come here. My shoes are more for running on concrete and sidewalk than rocks. It takes a little over an hour to get to the bottom, and once down there you can go see the bridge and then there is also a ghost town. I went to see the bridge only and it was really cool. The way back up seemed like it went by faster but it is also more taxing on the body. I realized that most of the people who go on that trail do not go all the way down. It can get pretty brutal for some. Overall, the views and scenery are what made this trip worth it. It makes me want to go and see what else there is in Guadalajara in terms of nature and trails.

David S — Google review
This amazing canyon is carved out by two rivers, there is plenty to see. I chose the suspension bridge at the bottom of the canyon. This is a strenuous hike that starts at the top of the canyon. You can follow the switch back easy enough down to the bottom there are a total of 58 switch backs. At the top of the canyon and along the route there are vendors that sale water and other refreshments. Once you reach the bottom you'll see the sign that points you to the direction of the bridge 1km. The hike is just breathtaking from the top of the canyon to the canyon floor. The views are wonderful the canyon floor is just amazing with mountains towering above on both sides. However the only issue is the river. It's what the locals call "aguas negras" or black water. What can I say Mexico does not have the proper water treatment facilities and as a result the river is severely polluted. Still plenty of people visit the area, once you see this canyon for yourself you will see why. One last thing for those of you in great physique a challenge awaits, you can go back up to the canyon top using a railway build for workers of the electric plant bellow. This is a very steep route caution people have died going up this route, anyway stick to the 58 switch backs and you'll be fine.

Park
Plaza Luis Barragán is a vibrant new addition to Guadalajara, celebrating the legacy of one of Mexico's most renowned architects. Recently inaugurated, this pedestrian-friendly plaza boasts beautiful fountains and comfortable seating areas, making it an inviting spot for locals and visitors alike. The plaza has quickly become a cultural hub, featuring free movie screenings that draw crowds eager to enjoy films under the stars while savoring complimentary popcorn. As the newly planted trees mature, they will provide much-needed shade from the strong sun.
(Translated by Google) It looks very pretty. They left that median looking beautiful. Even though it rained, it looks beautiful. (Original) Se ve muy bonito,dejaron ese camellón muy bonito. Aún que haya llovido se ve hermoso 🤩

(Translated by Google) The best thing about the square is Luis Barragán's Palomar, as it is very attractive to the eye, immense and pleasant. The fountains are a good complement to the park it tries to be. Recently inaugurated, it looks new, without damage, clean and serves in an excellent way to welcome you to the historic center. There is great confidence that, over the years, it will become an icon of the area along with the Two Temples and the Cathedral. The square needs large trees to provide shade for tourists who walk through the city to discover this new site, although I am worried that this will overshadow the sculpture. The bad thing about its location is that it complicates traffic in the area a little on weekends. (Original) Lo mejor de la plaza es el Palomar de Luis Barragán, pues es muy atractiva para la vista, inmensa y agradable. Las fuentes son un buen complemento al parque que intenta ser. Recién inaugurada, luce nueva, sin desperfectos, limpia y sirve de excelente forma para darte la bienvenida al Centro histórico. Hay mucha seguridad de que, con el paso de los años, se convertirá en un ícono de la zona junto a los Dos Templos y la Catedral. En la plaza hacen falta árboles grandes que den sombra a los turistas que pasean por la ciudad a descubrir este nuevo sitio, aunque me preocupa que esto llegue a opacar la escultura. Lo malo de su ubicación es complicar un poco el tráfico en la zona los fines de semana.

(Translated by Google) The plaza is in excellent condition, of course, it has to do with the fact that it was only inaugurated a month ago. This Saturday I had a series of films shown on a screen. Access to the movies was free, and people from the municipality gave away popcorn. Waiting for the trees they planted in the square to grow because the sun is really strong. (Original) La plaza se encuentra en excelentes condiciones, claro, tiene que ver con que apenas ha sido inaugurada hace un mes. Este sábado me tocó que se exhibiera una serie de películas en una pantalla. El acceso a las películas fue gratuito, y personas del municipio regalaron palomitas. En espera de que el arbolado que plantaron en la plaza crezca porque de verdad el sol está fuerte.

(Translated by Google) Recently built square, with a monument that has no shape, meaning or reason as to why and why it was made, an explanation has never been given or at least nothing that one understands its structure, which at least is not very useful in The place that was built, since the passage to vehicles was restricted, is only a pedestrian crossing to the main and central streets of Guadalajara. (Original) Plaza recién edificada, con un monumento que no se le halla forma, significado o razón del porqué y para qué se le hizo, nunca se ha dado una explicación o al menos nada que uno comprenda su estructura, que al menos no es muy útil en el lugar que se construyó, ya que el paso a vehículos quedó restringido, solo es pasó peatonal hasta las calles principales y centrales de Guadalajara.
Mary Z — Google review
(Translated by Google) A new special space for pedestrians, has fountains and chairs. In the afternoons they show movies in a movie and you can appreciate the sculpture. It is good that spaces for pedestrians are being recovered and more areas are being created to make our city more beautiful. The Oedipals around are almost decadent, I must admit, but over time the entire center of Guadalajara will be revived. (Original) Un nuevo espacio especial para peatones, tiene fuentes y sillas. Por las tardes pasan películas en una película y se puede apreciar la escultura. Es bueno que se están recuperando espacios para los peatones y haciendo más zonas así que vuelvan más bella nuestra ciudad. Los edípicos de al rededor alfo decadentes debo admitir pero con el tiempo se irá reviviendo todo el centro de Guadalajara

(Translated by Google) A representation of one of the great works of the architect Luis Barragan that relates the space and the play of shadows that the tower produces throughout the day that together with the water mirror reflects that infinite parallelism, that water mirror according to Barragan represents that time In which there were drinking fountains along the path for the horses, in his work the water emanates from the tower in a constant and endless flow. Excellent representation of his work, I loved it! (Original) Una representación de una de las grandes obras del arquitecto Luis Barragan que relaciona el espacio y el juego de sombras que produce la torre a traves del dia que junto con el espejo de agua refleja esa infinito paralelismo, ese espejo de agua segun barragan representa esa epoca en que existina bebederos a lo largo del camino para los caballos, en su obra el agua emana de la torre comonun flujo constante e interminable. Exelente representación de su obra me encanto!

(Translated by Google) A place to have a good time. The bad thing is the people who misuse it. This past Sunday, I left my house to go for a ride on it. I was hit from behind by a cyclist who was coming very fast. He didn't have the decency to stop and see what happened, and just drove off. Unfortunately, I broke a bone in my arm, and now I have to deal with the consequences myself. (Original) Un lugar para pasarla bien. Lo malo son las personas que dan mal uso de ella.

Via Recreativa Juárez in Guadalajara, Mexico, is a vibrant and lively event that takes place on Sunday mornings. This initiative closes off the city center to motorized traffic, allowing pedestrians, cyclists, and other non-motorized vehicles to roam freely. The area comes alive with markets, street performers, free concerts, and delicious street food. Families can also enjoy designated play areas for children with various activities like trampolining and bowling.
(Translated by Google) The Vía RecreActiva has been running for several years now, a place for recreation, exercise, cycling and having a good time. It covers a good part of the city, it is only on Sundays and sometimes on long weekend Mondays. It is from 8 am to 2 pm. You can ride a bike, skate, skate, walk, as long as you do it carefully and respect the rules, signs and traffic lights. There are different activities along the route. If they want to do their social service, they can do it on the road. THE ONLY BAD THING: They are the people who do not respect, go very fast or do juggling or bicycle stunts, I have seen accidents and it is impossible that there is no one to put order in this. (Original) Ya lleva varios años la Vía RecreActiva, lugar de esparcimiento, para hacer ejercicio, pasear en bicicleta y pasarla bien.

Puedes andar en bici, patines, patín, caminando, siempre y que lo hagan con cuidado y respetando las reglas, los señalamientos y semáforos. Hay diferentes actividades a lo largo de la vía. Sí quieren hacer su servicio social, pueden hacerlo en la vía. LO ÚNICO MALO: son las personas que no respetan, van muy rápido o haciendo malabares o acrobacias en bicicleta, me ha tocado ver accidentes y es lmanetable que no se cuente con alguien que ponga orden en esto.

(Translated by Google) The number of people on foot, bicycle, tricycle, rollerblades or skateboard is incredible, alone or camping, with or without a dog. There you can see different characters and a variety of recreational activities throughout the journey. In general there is order but there is never a shortage of those who do not measure their speed or dare to do pirouettes on their bicycles, causing accidents. (Original) Increible la cantidad de personas a pie, bicicleta, triciclo, patines o patineta, sólo o acampañado, con perro o sin él.

(Translated by Google) It's a hindrance, the truth is, one works on Sundays and with its roads, its cheapness, and its comde races make one struggle with traffic, if you want to exercise there, that's why they put the bike lane, parks, gyms and even the ravine.
