Guadalajara – statistics & facts
Jalisco and Guadalajara are much more than tequila, mariachis, and Mexican rodeos – the city not only ranks among the most populated cities in Mexico, but it is also the third Mexican city with the highest number of startups besides being among the four best-rated for new enterprises. The capital city, commonly called the Pearl of Occident, has become one of Mexico's crucial cultural and economic hubs. All things considered, it does not come as a surprise that Guadalajara is consistently ranking as one of the most important cities in the region, since being proclaimed the capital of New Galicia during the Viceroyalty of New Spain up to date.
