Activity itinerary

Estación Independencia - Línea 3

Meet your local guide at the subway station by the lift. (Estación Independencia - Línea 3).

Monument to the Centennial of Independence

This Independence monument was inaugurated in 1910 during the celebrations for dictator Porfirio Díaz's visit from Mexico City. It is a replica of the Angel of Independence in the capital.

San José de Analco Garden

It serves as the main square of the Analco area, located directly in front of the parish of San José. During the vice-regal era, this site hosted the street market for product exchanges, while the royal court also resolved conflicts and criminal cases here. Today, visitors can enjoy the gardens, fountain, and sports fields.

Parish of San José de Analco

15m
Admission ticket included

Founded in 1543, it predates the Guadalajara Cathedral. Its style is eclectic, featuring Baroque and Renaissance elements alongside elements of Roman architecture. Inside, there is the chapel of the Virgen de la Salud, which celebrates a pilgrimage in style every year on the fourth Sunday of October.

NEVERÍA ANALCO

Try the most traditional ice cream in the Analco area. Here, artisanal ice creams are prepared with organic fruit and natural sweets. They have been serving customers for decades, thanks to their more than 15 delicious flavours.

St Sebastian of Analco Garden

In this garden, a traditional bandstand stands at the centre of the square. Opposite it is the old hermitage of San Sebastian; today, the temple of San Sebastian Martir, built in the 17th century, occupies that location. Additionally, there is a monument known as the Stele Against Oblivion, dedicated to the explosions that occurred in the area on April 22, 1992.

Monumento Estela Contra Olvido

Monument honouring the tragic explosions that occurred in Analco on April 22, 1992.

Templo de San Sebastian de Analco

The temple was built in the 17th century using indigenous labour. Its architectural style combines indigenous and European traditions. A clear example of cultural syncretism in Mexico.

Mercado Guadalajara (Mercado Del Elote)

Established in the 1940s, it was the first market in the city to feature a gate made of wrought iron. It is also known as the "elotes" market, as it serves as a production and distribution centre for corn and its derived products (tamales, atole, tortillas, tostadas, etc).

Tortas Analco

30m
Admission ticket included

After the historic walk, take a moment to enjoy local food at Tortas Analco, a food stand that has been serving authentic Mexican cuisine since 1957. (Included in price)
