Pick a plan and break out of your routine with your partner.

At Barrio México, we know that relationships can sometimes fall into a daily rut. That’s why we’ve gotten creative to come up with the kind of plans everyone wishes they were invited on. What are you waiting for to take your partner in crime out on a great date? You can find these activities right here in the city to break the routine.

OUTDOOR CINEMA. ‍

If you and your partner are art-house film buffs, you’ll love this outdoor experience featuring one of the largest screens in the city. The Conjunto Santander de Artes Escénicas at the University of Guadalajara has exactly what you’re looking for. It’s one of the most important cultural centers in Latin America, located just a few minutes away within the city.

It’s one of the most appealing date ideas for the warmer season, as you can bring your own snacks and plan all the little details to eat and drink while enjoying a great movie and your favorite company. If you want to check this month’s schedule, we’ve shared their page so you can see the details for the next screening and head over there. . https://www.facebook.com/CinetecaFICG

COOKING & MIXOLOGY CLASS.

We all know the way to the heart is through the stomach: "full belly, happy heart." But what could be better than cooking together in a class like total pros? At @thecookingtbl they have various options to choose from, where you can put your partner’s culinary skills to the test—or just learn and have fun with this incredible activity.

You’ll find everything from Japanese, Mexican, Thai, and French cuisine to desserts and pizzas. Or how about learning some mixology and becoming a master at serving drinks? It’s an excellent way to spend time as a couple and make new friends while learning something new, all before sitting down to eat everything delicious you’ve prepared. If you want more information, we’ve shared their Instagram so you can sign up for the next one.

POTTERY + WINE CLASSES.

If you’re into relaxing, getting your hands dirty, and drinking wine while doing crafts, we have the perfect plan for you. P. de barro is a local pottery brand that offers the chance to create your own custom pieces from scratch through their courses and classes. And that’s not all—it’s proven that these types of activities help improve focus and dexterity by working with your hands.

We think it’s an ideal activity to relax and disconnect from the daily grind with your partner. We love the calm, enjoyable atmosphere created while sharing a glass of wine or a beer as you think about how your new coffee mug or that jewelry box you’ve been wanting will turn out. Keep an eye on this account, because we’ll have a surprise for you soon on the social media channels of Barrio Mexico and @P.debarro You're going to love it!

MUSEUM/ART GALLERY GETAWAY.

This is a classic that never fails, especially if you've just started dating and want a cultural outing. It's a great way to get to know each other and hear their take on art. We recommend checking out @plataformagdl , the new home for contemporary art in Guadalajara. Located on Avenida Vallarta, near the Americana neighborhood, it's an excellent place to explore the art world.

This space is dedicated to showcasing dialogues between emerging and established artists, created for the public and to allow international curation to flourish. The restoration and transformation of the building is a work of art in itself, as it was originally a funeral home in the eighties. You can check their Instagram account to see their current exhibition and check their hours. Don't miss it!

PICNIC IN THE PARK.

If you're looking to enjoy nature, some sunshine, and romantic plans, a good picnic will always be the number one option. And who doesn't love being invited on a date like this? We all have a romantic side that enjoys sharing time and these kinds of getaways.

You can plan it at Metropolitano or Colomos Park. Bring a blanket to sit on, cold and refreshing drinks to beat the heat, a board game, some snacks to munch on, and a ball to get active while you play. Or simply disconnect and be present in nature.

There will always be different ways to connect with your partner, and only you know how they would like to spend the day with you. We've given you a little nudge with these ideas, now it's your turn to invite them and surprise them with a plan like this.

See you soon!
