The main crop in the mountains between Tepic and Guadalajara is the blue agave,
a relative of the pineapple from which tequila is made. |
 |
| The tequila is made from the juices of the fruit which
grows in the centre of the agave shown above. |
 |
| Having cycled past miles of agave plantations, we thought
we should take a look at how Tequila is made on a factory tour at the town of
Tequila. |
 |
| This included lots of free samples. Unfortunately it was
only 10am and we had to continue cycling to Guadalajara afterwards. Vowed never to
drink and ride again. |
