    Los Famosos Equipales

    Grab a 'Las Nalgas Alegres' and a snack. The jukebox is playing and the energy is high, but you have plenty of time before the walk.

  2. 17:41

    Belén Cemetery

    Walk up to Belén Cemetery. The golden light hits the old stone walls and mausoleums perfectly, casting long shadows that highlight the texture of the 1786 architecture. It is quiet here, a stark contrast to the bar.

    Belén Cemetery

    Stay inside as the light fades. The transition from day to night is the most atmospheric part of the visit. If you want to go deeper, this is when the night tours begin on Thu-Sa, but even just standing in the dim light tells the story of Tapatío culture.
