Zapopan's identity rests on one small statue. The Virgin of Zapopan, about 34 centimetres tall, is said to have been brought to the region in 1541 by the missionary Antonio de Segovia and is made in the corn-paste technique developed by Indigenous artisans in Michoacán. The Basilica that houses her dates from 1730.
Each year on 12 October more than two million pilgrims walk about nine kilometres from Guadalajara Cathedral to the Basilica carrying her, in a procession known as La Romería. Accounts date the tradition to 1734, and UNESCO has recognised the pilgrimage as intangible cultural heritage.
The second half of the tour jumps to the present: Andares opened on 19 November 2008 and is one of the largest mixed-use projects in Latin America. The two halves show how the same municipality holds both an old pilgrimage town and a contemporary shopping district.
