Visit to Guadalajara

The past Wednesday, I visited Guadalajara in order to asist to the firts Congres of Mechatronic Engineering. Of course, I took the opportunity to visit some tourist attractions. Although I only had one day to do so, it was long enough to walk in the streets and plazas of the center. What most caught my attention was the central cathedral, which contains shrines dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Sorrows, the Virgin of Zapopan (patron saint of Guadalajara), Santo Domingo de Guzman, San Nicolas de Bari, St. Thomas Aquinas, San Cristobal, San Juan de Dios. There are 52 seats carved wooden chair in addition to the Cardinals. The decoration is made of marble and silver. The colors of stained glass are imported from France, the guide told me that. In praticular it was a very pleasant experience despite the fact that I had to miss several classes and my English exam, but I will do it ... I hope.
