We changed hotels, from in town to a distillery (Cofradia) and all the rooms looked like Tequila barrels. The owners of this property got in 1212 as in 812 years ago. They didn’t start commercial Tequila bottling until 1992.
The cab fare was 80 pesos, (about 3 kilometers) after we were checked in we walked to lunch (700 meters) then took a taxi back @ 100 pesos.
After lunch we had a tour of the distillery and tequila tasting at the end. The tour was very good, this was the 3rd tour and probably the best.
We took a nap then went to the pool. As we were leaving another couple showed up. I don’t speak Spanish and they didn’t speak English. Oh well.
We went to dinner at this location. A huge venue with exceptional food. We were almost the only people there. There was one other table of 4. They could have been staff having a meeting.
This morning we walked to a restaurant just 2 blocks away. Patio Mayahua. We rested at the hotel until it was time to take a cab to the Barrel Hotel (Matices). After checking in we walked 700 m to lunch…very good! I had a ceviche and a shrimp taco. Neil had shrimp fajitas.
We took a cab back to the Hotel. Afternoon schedule:
Tour, tasting, swim, fabulous dinner.

La Cofradia, Tequila, Jalisco.
Awesome atmosphere, large venue, we will see what dinner brings.
Dinner was awesome!
We split the appetizer and the main course. The service was excellent!
145 pesos for the appitizer, 330 pesos for the main course, and 48 pesos apiece for mineral watter. 571 pesos for dinner or $33.61, kind of on the expensive side for one meal but as I said this was about the nicest place we have eaten in Mexico.
We have been eating too much this week.
But clearly this was the best meal of the week.
Oh, BTW it was effectively just us.
