Andares and Puerta de Hierro

Andares is the shopping and dining complex of Puerta de Hierro, the residential and business district of Zapopan, on the west side of the Guadalajara metro area. Office towers surround it, and the Puerta de Hierro medical center sits in the same neighborhood. It is one of the most upscale parts of the city.

Andares opened in November 2008, and it is more than a mall: the same complex holds a chain hotel, residential towers and luxury car dealerships. That mix brings two very different kinds of visitors. Some come for a weekend of shopping and dinners. Others work in the surrounding towers or have appointments at the medical center and need somewhere to sleep for several weeks in a row.

No other place generates as many messages to us. In recent months, more than sixty people wrote to us on WhatsApp about staying near Andares, and more than a quarter of them asked the same thing: whether they could stay for weeks or a month. Others asked about parking and about invoices for their company.

How far it really is

An older version of our Spanish page promised apartments a few steps from Andares, and it was not accurate. Our closest building is Livify, a short drive away; after that come Ricardo Palma and La Casona in Providencia, and Madison in Midtown. Anuva, also in Zapopan, is a bit farther. The table shows the drive from each building on a normal traffic day.

Walking, along the streets. By car, from no traffic to normal traffic (OpenStreetMap routes). Traffic can be heavier on event days.

At rush hour the avenues around Puerta de Hierro fill up quickly. If your meeting or your appointment is first thing in the morning, leave with room to spare.

Settling in for a few weeks

A month near Andares is easier with a kitchen, a washing machine and a place to work. El Tres de Marzo, in Livify, has a washing machine, a dryer and air conditioning. El Nido, in the same tower, is a loft with a desk, good for working remotely. In Anuva, El Despacho and La Favorita both have a desk, and every Anuva apartment has its own washer and dryer.

Living in Livify does not mean driving to Andares for everything. The ground floor of the building has restaurants, and the streets around it have parks and everyday shops, so morning coffee, groceries or a quick dinner happen without the car. Access to the tower, the elevator and the pool works with a card we leave inside the apartment, and the front desk has its own rules for visitors: if someone is coming to see you, let us know first and we will arrange it. If you work from home, Anuva also has a coworking area for guests.
