Things to Do

Plaza Principal de Tototlán

Hidalgo and Juarez, Col. Centro, 47730 Tototlán, Jal., Mexico

This is the main town square. During the day you can find little fruit stands, taco carts, churro stands, "guasanas", shaved ice with delicious homemade fruit syrup, a shoeshine boy, ice cream parlors, a cafe and even a seafood stand where you can get a "preparada" which is similar to the "michelada", but it's prepared with cold shrimp broth, lime, salt and and seasoning sauces. The best cure to a hangover.

This is also where you'll find most of the banks where you can find ATM's. Or exchange dollars for pesos. At night, depending on the day, you can find a live orchestra playing in the "quiosco" and people sitting on the benches people-watching and enjoying the music. You can also find taco carts, hotdog carts, a cafe, a pizzeria, ice cream parlors, and all sorts of traditional goodies like "salchipapas", potato chips, "churros", grilled "elotes", etc.

This church is also where our wedding ceremony will be celebrated.
