Over the weekend, we visited Tonala, one of the seven colonies in GDL. One of the less affluent colonies, Tonala offers plenty of opportunities to buy Mexican kitsch. We visited Tonala last year, but it was on the day of the street market, so the crowds were huge. The place was much more manageable this time, and we were able to explore more of it. These photos are of the town center, complete with a cathedral and a town square.
I love the cobblestone roads.
We wandered through the shops for a bit, and then we ate lunch in the mercado (market). We all drank 'licuados', which are milkshakes made with milk, fresh fruit, and honey. They are served in plastic bags, which is common for beverages purchased in the mercados or on the streets.
Fresh meat or fresh flowers? You can purchase them both right here, along with your fresh fruits and veggies.
