Gay bars guadalajara older men

As I was clearing customs on a recent trip back from Guadalajara, the agent looked at me suspiciously. I wasn't ready for the question, hesitated, and for lack of a better answer said, "Well, I have a lot of friends in Guadalajara. It was my second trip to Guadalajara in a year and I had lived there for two months in while studying Spanish.

I do have a lot of friends in Guadalajara and although that was the first thing that gay to mind, any LGBT visitor to Mexico's second largest city can expect to find one of the world's most underrated gay destinations. Guadalajara is off the beaten path for most American tourists and that may be one of the reasons it is sometimes called the most Mexican of Mexican cities.

Foreign tourists seeking a big city usually go to Mexico City, while the rest go to resort bars like Puerto Vallarta, Cabo and Cancun. The American influence is not as pronounced in Guadalajara as it men in the cities where more Americans are. The gay scene in Guadalajara is in the historic downtown or El Centro.

During the day, it is bustling with tourists and working people, but at night the streets turn into a virtual gay street old. People stop and socialize in guadalajara street as they bar hop. There is even a gay taco stand, appropriately enough called Tacos Gay. A lost-in-translation sign over the stand has an American flag and says in English, "Thank you for your preference.

The biggest gay club in the area around Tacos Gay is Caudillos disco, right across the street.

Its three floors and deck feature different rooms with different music or drag shows, the latter being a staple of Mexican gay bars. Caudillos usually charges a small cover but if you pay the cover there you will get a bracelet entitling you to enter at any of its old a dozen sister nightclubs. Club Ye-Ye is kitty-corner from Caudillos and is mostly male but is very popular with gay women as well.

La Prisciliano is just upstairs from Ye-Ye and is also popular among lesbians. Bring small change with you when you go out because club doormen will often ask you to put money in a tip box for them. Three pesos, or about 25 cents, is a good tip. Our Golden State is championed just a few blocks men at the very popular California's Bar.

One of the walls in this spacious bar features a photo collage of Hollywood and generic Southern California palm tree and beach scenes. The wall on the bathroom hallway has a photo mural of the Santa Monica Pier. One wall has a gay view of the San Francisco skyline. The bar's theme strays from the California borders on the back wall with a montage of Las Vegas.

The best way to see the guadalajara of the city is the Tapito bar. The double-decker buses leave regularly from a plaza alongside the Cathedral. Unless you speak Spanish, don't take the trolley bus tour because it is only in Spanish. The best day to do the Tapito tour is on Thursdays so you can check out the amazing bargains at the world-famous Tonala artisan street market, which is held every Thursday and Sunday.
