I love Guanajuato, Mexico. I went there back in 1980 with a couple of friends in college. My father told me to go there and see how the poor people live. My father is from Marfa, Texas and was brought up during the depression. My friends and I went to Mexico City first and to Guanajuato and the last trip was Guadalajara, Mexico. I just flew back from Guadalajara back in March of 2024. OMG! Guadalajara grew so much. I could not believe all the High-Rise buildings there now. It always had so much Greenery back then and I loved it. I was looking at Condo's and House's there now and they are very Modern and beautiful, and the pools are magnificent. Now I would tell my father what poor people. My Niece went to Guadalajara back in February 2024 with her boyfriend who has family there. That was her first time in Mexico, and she loved it and wants to go back again. I want to buy a Vacation home there soon. Just Magnificent and I live in Los Angeles and very expensive to live for the younger generation. That is why my niece went to Mexico to look at property there.

Ray you’re awesome. Your attitude about moving to Mexico is spot on. I was just in Guanajuato in April/May and am strongly considering it as a retirement city. Would love to hang out when I go again.

@n8vskir 6 дней назад

I just moved here as well. I couldn't have said it any better than ray! Just know the permanent residency process it's just that, a process the whole thing does not take just a week. Thank you Ray and others for putting together this very informative bit of information! For those of you interested in coming here you will need to know more than just basic Spanish, English is not spoken here widely! Another reason to be here!

@brentmcwilliams4332 8 дней назад

I've loved Guanajuato since studying Spanish at the Universidad de Guanajuato there in 1984. The other area of Mexico I am familiar with is the Puerto Vallarta area (San Blas Nay.). I recently received an inheritance of about $225k and receive an income of about $1,050/mo and surviving in the U.S. housing market is now very intimidating and crappy. So of course this video interests me.👍🤙✌️ P.S.:I remember our hotel was called the Casa Kloster and I wonder if it's still there all these decades later.

This is very useful information! I spent a summer in Mexico and Guanajuato was one of our trips. My husband and I are less than 10 years from retirement, and Guanajuato is definitely a place we are thinking about retiring in.

@dandee831 8 дней назад

Thanks for this, Ray. We were in Queretaro, San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato for a week recently finishing our canje. Guanajuato is a quirky, intriguing place. It’s not the most the “most beautiful” place in Mexico but it seemed to me (after only a few days) to be an intriguing place with a lot of depth. You’re right about the tunnels - such a unique and intriguing aspect along with the hills, steps and alleys. I’d say everyone should see it and explore if it’s right for them.

@cindyk3076 9 дней назад

Ray certainly has the right attitude about moving to Mexico! It's great that he appreciates the culture, festivals, people, etc, and has learned some Spanish. I'm wondering why his wife didn't join him in his move?

Im also a retired American who has been living in Mexico for many years. I've been renting a 2 bedroom furnished apartment here in Cuernavaca for about $400 USD a month. I've also been to and lived in San Miguel de Allende and Ajijic/Chapala where there's more of an expat population. I grew up in hot humid places in the States and prefer cooler weather. I think Puebla, San Cristobal de Las Casas, would also be great places to visit and live.

Very cool video, interesting perspectives on relocating to a new land, and Ray's positive approach to assimilating and integrating into his new surroundings is exactly the correct one. If only all travelers (temporary tourists or permanent residents) carried a similar mindset.

$1200/month for one person ? We live in the mountains of Guatemala, in a city called Xela. This is Guatemalas 2nd largest city. With no budgeting at all the two of us spend less than $1200/month. Very safe, temps from 70-45 most days, all year. The people are sweet and Spanish schools are everywhere if you need to learn.

@paul4199-e7e 8 дней назад

I highly recommend italki. It’s a great service/application. It may take you a while to find your ideal teacher but you can do trial lessons or try out a teacher for a few weeks until you find a good match. It’s worth watching all the teachers intro videos and making a short list. I’ve had a lot of success and improvement with this app. Good luck!

@brentmcwilliams4332 8 дней назад

I loved the Panoramica, the ribbons of Starlings coming in and out of town in the evening, the placitas, La Pipila and La Bufa, and the tunnels. But I have a question about walking in them as you mentioned. Don't they all basically reek of urine or have they cleaned that up in the 40 years since I've been there?

Hola Ray y bienvenido a Mexico! Hola Mariana! Thanks again you for all you do! Gracias for the tour around Guanajauto. It's a great city to visit and I'm happy you like it there. It really doesn't have enough green spaces for me and I still enjoy surfing so I moved to the beach city of Ensenada in Oct 2022. I'm kind of spoiled after surfing around the world and I am getting older so I don't get out as much as used to. I was thinking about moving up somewhere into the highland area of Mexico but I really like the climate here and it's a great city to live in. I am also from So. Cal so I still have friends there that I enjpy spending time with. Of course I, like others here, are curious about the situation with you and your wife and if she will eventually be joining you. I dumped my GF before moving here after finding out through friends that while the cats away the mice will play. Funny thing was I put her and myself up in a nice gated community but she still got out! Mucha suerte desde la hermosa Ensenada!

My biggest takeaway from this video is "LEARN SPANISH". I am attending a Spanish lesson online 3 times a week and do duolingo (mobile app). I used to live in Rio for 3 months for business which is totally different than when you go there on vacation. and it was so frustrating that I wasn't able to communicate with the locals.
