This is a beautiful church and well worth the visit....but don't miss the dancing. Every Sunday evening in the plaza in front of the church there is Guadalajara's version of ballroom dancing!

enjoyed it all !! Great very very old place ! not touristy at all many vendors about for drinks etc Must be respectful as this IS a currently used local church
