In Guadalajara is a city of contrasts, and we find the AVE (High-speed train) together with Baroque temples, los industrial areas and Medieval turrets.
Strolling through Guadalajara’s old town is like taking a trip to the past. The visitor will behold Renaissance Palaces, arabesque (mudéjar) buildings and Baroque churches which invite travellers to stop for a moment to take in history built in rock and brick.
But not everything is stone, tar and masonry. What makes the city a living space are its peoples, peoples that express themselves in popular celebrations, such as the Carnival, the Holy Week, the Corpus Christi or local saint festivities.
