best photo spots in guadalupe?
honestly the best sunrise spot is up at the mission on mission st, the old basilica catches the light perfectly around 6:30am this time of year. for something less obvious, try the back streets near the guadalupe river parkway trail, there's an old railroad bridge that gives u a killer view of the town with the mountains behind it. if you want a hidden gem, the cemetery on the hill off santa maria st has some wild angles and nobody bothers you there. just watch out for the hilly roads, they're a pain to park on but worth it for the shots
forget the mission crowds, the view from the top of figueroa mountain road is wild if you can drive up, total fog layers over the valley at sunrise. also the old train depot at night with long exposures, the stars come out insane with no city lights
the mission is cool and all but honestly the light at the old train depot on 7th street around golden hour is way underrated, the old wooden platforms and tracks make for some sick foregrounds. also if you wander down to the park near the river on the east side, the reflections off the water with the oak trees are pretty stunning, barely anyone's ever there

🚌 Getting Around for Food
Most food spots are within walking distance of the Zócalo, but for farther markets like Mercado de Abastos on the outskirts, take a colectivo from Avenida Juárez for 10 pesos. Taxis within the city center cost around 50 pesos per trip.
Solid list, you got the essentials down. One thing I'd add is the barbacoa at Puesto La Abuela on Sundays, they start serving it around 8 AM and it sells out by 11. The consomé they give you on the side is worth the trip alone, 40 pesos for a plate with all the fixings.
For the sweet treats, if you're at Dulceria La Guadalupana, grab a piece of the cocada too. It's 25 pesos and way less sweet than the camotes, more of a chewy coconut bar. I usually get one of each and eat them while walking over to the Zócalo.
the pulque at Pulqueria La Tradicion is legit but heads up it's a acquired taste, not for everyone. if you want something easier to drink, grab a tepache from the guy with the cart near the Zocalo on weekends, 15 pesos a cup and it's super refreshing. also, the gorditas at Puesto La Abuela are bomb but they get crazy busy around noon, go at like 8 AM when they open and you'll get 'em fresh off the comal
honestly this is a solid list, you covered most of the bases. one thing i'd add is the tortas ahogadas from Taqueria El Fuego, they're not on the menu but if you ask the guy at the grill he'll make you one for 35 pesos. way better than the tacos there imo, the bread soaks up the salsa just right.
also if you're at Mercado Municipal around noon on a Saturday, look for the lady selling tamales de elote from a blue cooler near the back entrance. she's usually there til 1 or 2 and they're 12 pesos each, best i've had in town. the camotes from Dulceria La Guadalupana are legit but they're sweeter than you'd expect, good with coffee though.
