NEVER FAR FROM A FOUNTAIN....
The many fountains in Tlaquepaque offer soothing respite for visitors, especially in the balmy months of summer. In Old Mexico, fountains were located in the central village square, serving as a place to gather water, meet friends and catch up on the latest news. Tlaquepaque visionary Abe Miller sought to capture that sense of place and purpose at Tlaquepaque as well. During special times of the year, its fountains are transformed into spectacular seasonal displays with gourds, vines, roots, squashes and pumpkins in the fall, and trimmings like holly, ornamental balls and handmade signature serape ornaments during the holiday season. Any time of year the gurgling, splashing water from the fountains brings a magical element to an already magical environment.
We encourage you to walk and wander through the amazing courtyards at Tlaquepaque and Tlaquepaque North as you never know what tempting fountain you might stumble upon...not to mention an amazing gallery, eatery or specialty boutique.
In Patio de las Campanas near our fountain, it is not uncommon to find a live musician performing outside under the cool shade of the sycamores. Without music, the fountains still have their own harmonious tones that will capture your senses ....and allow you to lose yourself in the moment.
And if you haven't had a chance to peruse Tlaquepaque North, we encourage and invite you to stop by. During our fall seasons, you will find that all of our fountains are decorated in the holiday themes...Check our calendar of events to find out the dates for Day of the Dead and the Lighting of 6000 Luminarias.
