Where did you grow up?

I am from Guadalajara, Jalisco, the second-largest city in Mexico with over 5 million inhabitants. Guadalajara is a big city with many beautiful aspects. It possesses excellent cuisine and a wonderful climate. In proximity to the city, you can explore mountain villages or small towns along the west coast of Mexico. The state of Jalisco is the birthplace of mariachi, tequila, and birria.
