what is up hello from zappopan
some of you are probably wondering what
is sapopan where am i
zeppo pan is part of metro guadalajara
so it's basically guadalajara but it's a
part of the city that is
you know it's a bit more residential
it's a bit more
it's a bit different than the center of
guadalajara but this time i decided
why not do something a bit different why
not show what a more local experience is
like
in a place like guadalajara
[Music]
so i'm sitting here near the basilica of
the zapapan
i'm going to show you that in a minute
but i'm actually waiting for a friend to
get here
his name is urielle and auriel was at
the same hostel as me in puerto vallarta
and his family is from guadalajara and
when i told him i was going to
guadalajara well he said hey my aunt and
uncle they have a
have a nice airbnb in zappopan is it
zappopan or sapopen
i think it's zeppo ban anyway long story
short i checked the airbnb it was a nice
place and
here i am staying with his family in
zappopan and he's going to come explore
the city a little bit with me today
in the meantime while i wait i want to
show you one cool thing about zappopan
free wi-fi just like that didn't have to
give my email didn't have to sign up for
anything
so quick so easy i love it
i think in this day and age offering
free wi-fi is probably the best thing a
city can do for tourists
because most people have just arrived in
a foreign country they
they don't have a data plan they don't
really know where things are they're
afraid of getting lost
so just give people some wi-fi and
they're actually a lot more likely to
enjoy their visit in that city i think
[Music]
all right i'm still waiting for uriel
but since i'm here i'm gonna give one
more shout out
this time to the uh to the restaurant
behind me this is where i had my
breakfast for the past two days
they got this deal where for 79 pesos
you get a coffee you get fruit you get
juice
you get this big omelet and because i
was staying in the touristy part of
vallarta
i wasn't able to find anything like that
i mean i'd be paying
you know 200 pesos for that same amount
of food so that's always one advantage
of going where you don't get so many
tourists
the prices are guaranteed to be a bit
less
how's it going yeah man all good
yeah all good all good you want to say
hi again yeah
hi guys how you doing
[Music]
test one two tests yeah okay
or y'all just got me a local drink
called tahuino
am i saying it right yeah
i don't know what to expect it looks
good though
how is it it's really refreshing
i don't even know how to describe this
but it's like
the colors like tamarindo juice which i
love but you add some spice and some
salt so it kind of tastes like a
michelada which i love
and it's got citrus too it's got some
like orange taste to it
delicioso seriously really good
excuse me
pretty nice street man i know where to
go next time it's raining because
you have no trouble on this street
so wait is that is that the new metro
that they're building it is
okay so it's not it's not done yet right
but it's almost done they're still
working
it's not it's almost done it looks
pretty cool though it's gonna be big for
the city
it's gonna help us a lot
[Music]
okay guys so i ordered the tostada the
camaron and i have a taco the cameron
i've never seen it i've never seen a
tostada like this they gave me a bowl of
ingredients
i guess i get to make them myself
but it looks very delicious
that's the real deal
all right guys so after some delicious
fish tacos
and tostados we're here at a pretty
famous park
in guadalajara called bosque los colomos
we're still in zappopan part of the city
but uh
yeah this is an enormous park it's 92
hectares
so we're not going to see everything but
we're going to get a little taste of
what it's like
let's go
okay bro what is this in front of us is
that chipotle castle
[Laughter]
similar this looks like it looks like
[Music]
this is something i did not expect to
see today a japanese garden
[Music]
oh yeah they got the the orange fish
orange what a koi koi fish
let's check out that little turtle
hanging out on the rock
so cool
i think we have another park in front of
us
this looks like it could be the arid
section we got a lot of cactus
very different than the japanese garden
from before
you know growing up in canada when i
think about cactus when i think about
cacti
i only really think about the ones that
look like this just going straight up
out of the ground
nothing too exciting but i have seen
many many different cactus
in my time in mexico that i have never
seen before
and they sure do have a lot of them here
pretty cool place okay my friends the
sun is starting to go
down it's been a pretty full day here in
zappopan
in fact i just learned a new word for
people who are born in zappopan
is it zappo zapopanos
and gracias uriel for the tour
the local tour of zappopan not a problem
and actually
yeah because you grew up in guadalajara
right yeah
yeah i'm from guadalajara so what's
what's one thing that's special about
this place or one thing you like about
guadalajara
well i really like the city it's like
cosmopolitan
but guadalajara has too many places to
visit too many different options and
also i think it is one of the
good places but good cities with a
really good weather
almost all the year so that's why i love
guadalajara
monterey is really good mexico city is a
big city
but you will definitely keep water heart
on your head
okay guys as always thanks for watching
i'm dan from the new travel
see you next time
