On the understanding that urban space it becomes place, place experience, and consequently, in a place that contains a set of meanings and cognitive symbolic in establishing identity sites. Thus, the urban space - being a maker of culture - is constituted through a continuous process and reorganization of meanings and constantly building new forms part of identification of a particular society. In this space of reflection, punctuated we provide an overview on socio-spatial structure of a traditional historical section in the heart of the city of Guadalajara, Mexico, in the area known as San Juan de Dios, in order to put in evidenced by the continuous process of transformation that has been subject, where social differences are evident and meanings that has occurred and currently produce over it. This established through the social mapping and contrasting these with the life stories, memoirs and personal narratives obtained by its inhabitants, as part of the reconstruction of a history and the recent past we tried to decipher. Through these stories, we were able to have a simplified representation of a particular reality of the neighborhood, that shape a set of circumstances or scenarios that reflect the urban process and social environment - expressed in a small fragment of the city - as part the different meanings that articulate and produce landscape and contemporary urban territory.
