On Three Kings Day 2013 we decided to head downtown to the Centro Historico for the shear fact that there is ALWAYS something going on there during the weekends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though we didn\u2019t know what we would find, we knew it was a holiday, and somehow it always ends up being an adventure. This time was no different! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found an ice skating rink set up in one of the main plazas, and free Rosca de Reyes<\/a> being handed out in front of the Cathedral! Of course, we joined the massive line!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kiddo loved some cake, but then we decided to do something we\u2019ve always wanted to do: take a carriage ride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the big success from the day before, Little Boy loved riding behind a horse, and we actually found out about a couple little places in town we hadn\u2019t yet discovered. It was fun to be \u201chometown tourists\u201d!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the highlights of the carriage ride in the Guadalajara Centro:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avenida Vallarta is closed on Sundays for bike riding! This is a great activity in and of itself. You can bring your own bicycle, but there are also bikes you can rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Templo Expiatorio del Sant\u00edsimo Sacramento is a Catholic church not far from the Centro. There is a plaza in front of the church that often times has food stalls of street food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primera Iglesia Bautista de Guadalajara, or the First Baptist Church. We had driven by it many times, but it was the first time we were able to get a good look at the facade of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mercado Corona is one of the markets downtown. This one had a lot of food stalls. However, there are also handicrafts and other items inside. If Mercado San Juan de Dios is too overwhelming (it can be), then this is a good alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
