Queretaro is hands down one of my favorite cities to visit. I vacationed there last August and fell in love with the place and people. It's VERY safe especially the downtown area. Everything is pretty much within walking distance and Uber is super cheap (like $7 bucks for a ride). The most I paid for an Uber was $20 bucks. There's also a lot wealth there and their Antea mall is gorgeous, very modern. There's a lot of foreigners that live there so you can find food from Korea, other parts of Mexico, Italian, Indian even Arab food believe it or not. There's a lot of people from different places of the world that have made Queretaro their home. Did I mention they also have an awesome Wine & Tour there? Yep, Queretaro is one of the wine places in Mexico so if you love wine and cheese, go there! 100% recommend this State.
I have booked a place there for two weeks in the summer so that I can find a place to live there permanently. Thank you so much for all of this information. Thank you to this community. And I am open to any and all experiences and advice from people that know QRO
I am staying at a place for two weeks in August through early September to find a permanent place. Like you, I’m selling everything and moving. Ivonne with Mexico Relocation is helping me.
@@dlwsport250Husband and I will also be there in August and I are working with Ivonne! Using QRO as home base to check out various cities in the region for relocation. Just found @Gringointerrupted. Love your videos Alfie!
Another thoroughly entertaining video! Your subtle NJ/NY humor combined with your excellent cinematography skills and natural presentation ability. This place is on my list. Thank you!
My husband and I have visited several cities for short periods: Puerto Vallarta, Ajijic, Monterey, Mexico CIty, Queretero, and San Miguel de Allende. Love watching your videos.
Love and learn a lot from your content! I'll be going to Oaxaca City, Puerto Escondido, and Huatulco in 3 days! You have helped plan this adventure greatly! 🙏🩷
Thank you!!! I’m traveling again soon, so more videos in the spring! I might do a “packing” video before then and some short videos until then! Thanks for watching!
Hola amigo. Mi mombre es Jorge Rodríguez Priego tengo 79 años de edad, soy un aficionado, coleccionista y amante de la historia; me alegro mucho que disfrutaste tu viaje, espero hayas pasado una estancia maravillosa durante tu estadía en México. Si regresas, tienes tú casa en la ciudad de Merida y con mucho gusto te puedo llevar y compartir lugares historicos muy bellos y no tan frecuentados ni conocidos por turistas en distintos estados de México. Me gusta que mencionas e instruyes con datos históricos a los seguidores. Que Dios lo bendiga joven, saludos y buenas tardes.
Hola Jorge! Me alegro mucho que haya disfrutado mis videos! Y muchas gracias por la oferta. Quizás si yo paso por Merida le encuentro para este guía histórico! Que dios le bendiga también! Muchas gracias 😊
We hope that you gain many more subscribers. You are an excellent videographer, and a really good tour guide. We enjoy your humor. You have helped us to decide where we want to go in Mexico. Keep up the good work.
Excellent video!! I really hope to make it to Querètaro at some point. There is just so much beauty and culture in Mexico. I couldnt be happier about living here. I have such graitude for the kindness and hospitality I am regularly shown.
For me is the best city from whole country I love Querétaro and you missed La alameda which is another place with history, hope to see you back soon 👍😉
Thank you for your informative and entertaining videos of Mexico. I will have to put Queretaro on my bucket list. Next time you're at "the Denny's of Mexico" AKA VIPS, try out the Sopa Azteca, a delicious variant of Tortilla Soup. Enjoyable and safe travels amigo!
Hola, Alfie! Thank you for your very informative, sincere, and humorous tours of all the fabulous places I now want to live in Mexico! I feel like a silent Elf on the GoPro - (so excited to finally get off the dang shelf!) Thank you, thank you for allowing me to tag along. You've been my favorite even before you fed the sweet skinny blanco pero. You're a softie, Alfie but don't worry... your secret is safe with me 😉. Gracias de nuevo for all you do to bring the beauty of Mexico to us. 🫶
@nannymarta4268 What a nice comment; thanks you so much! Shhhh…don’t tell anyone my secret! 😉 I hope you get there soon and bring treats for all the doggos! 🐶
I’ve been to Queretaro for work north of the city. I was there twice during the summer in 2022. One of my favourite places to eat was “Restaurante Emilia” .. located right next to Clap Irish Pub, a place I would like to go back to next time I visit.
The calendar commentary is perfect 😂 Oh, and I completely agree…where are the naked men, like my calendars at home? But, hey…the ketchup trick might come in handy sometime, especially with a twink and a Zaddy. This video also reminded me of the Chiles en Nogada I had at the restaurant at the Museo Nacional de Antropología.(which was also a little fancy pants).
Good job! We enjoyed the many beautiful churches there. The best empanadas in all of Mexico were our favorite food there. Plenty of fantastic bakeries too. I hope you feel better soon . Thanks for sharing. P.S. There is a Korean restaurant downtown... NOT RECOMMENDED.
3:10, when I was a little kid back in the early 70´´s I used to see that depiction of purgatory and get really scared. My mom used to tell me that´s where all the bad people went.
Ok so the algorithms aligned and bam! …RUclips offered up your channel. I’m planning to return to Mexico tan pronto como posible así que tus vídeos son imprescindibles para mi. 😀I’m only 3 vids into your collection but I can say you are totally on my page: low tolerance for pretence, a love of walkable no-car streets, lack of patience for touristas que no trata hablar español, no expectation that Mexican life should equate with or even mirror la vida de Los Estados Unidos. That’s the point of travel, no? … to experience something/somewhere different. AND you call out RACISM! What’s not to love? I think what you’re striving to find is an AUTHENTICITY of place and people. A valid and worthy aspiration I would agree, even though travel itself is a kind of artificial preoccupation. (No judgment I love to travel and Im always seeking out an authentic experience and/or meaning.)Also you are a self proclaimed “fat pig” Que chistoso! A propósito donde aprendes español? Tienes un acento muy bueno. Great photography music and commentary. And indeed, where are the naked men? Gracias por todo y hasta luego. Saludos de Australia. Paul 🦘🦘🦘
Haha, muchas gracias por este comentario! Me da mucho gusto que te disfrute mi canal! I learned in school, but it came easy to me as I grew up with Italian in the house. Thanks for watching! Headed to CDMX now and doing my first live video Sun at 8pm ET! Hope to see you there!
Have enjoyed your videos as I did my research for my recent trip to MX. Were you a Spanish teacher? And how long is your visit through MX? Hope all is well and you’ve made a full recovery ❤️🩹 from covid.
Thank you so much! Yes, I taught Spanish and ESL. I just returned from a 4 week trip and getting ready to start editing more videos. I am fully recovered, thank you! 😊
@@GringoInterruptedActually the season for chiles en nogada is August and September. It's a dish that celebrates Mexican independence, thus the red white and green of the primary ingredients. 😉
I found it hilarious that you said there aren’t many foreigners in QRO. You missed 90% of Queretaro by just staying in Centro. Considering QRO is a huge hub for international manufacturing, there are probably more foreigners in Queretaro than anywhere outside Mexico City.
When did I say that there weren’t many foreigners? Did you mean when I said there weren’t many tourists? There were hardly any tourists when I was there.
I go to QRO for work and yes, there are big industrial parks outside of el centro, but I don’t ever really see many ‘gringo’ foreigners. I’m not arguing any point here, simply sharing my observations.
Hey Gringo! 😂. Can you share rents, particularly one bedroom apartments for an ExPat who doesn't know where to find the nicest for the best price? I need to visit to find my place and my tribe. Need a clean, safe $400 apt. Any ideas for me? Mucho gracious.
Unfortunately, I know very little about renting. I’m just a traveler; I haven’t put down roots in Mexico. But I know most ex-pats live in Centro and the suburb of Juriquilla
Simetimes the selections are either inaproriate to the mood, (too techno or electronic, or loud, when the scenes are quint, scenic or cultural.) Otherwise you use some super tasteful music generally. Volumes are good and so are transitions.
Perhaps covid related, but I think I just didn’t plan well. Btw, I did not have COVID at this time. I was recovering still. I would never run around inside places having Covid and infecting everyone 😂
@@GringoInterrupted I’m glad to hear you are taking responsibility.. lots of spread going on between jet setters and locals..could be the people who’s job it is to have stuff open to serve tourists are sick and didn’t have it together to have a replacement..wouldn’t surprise me. Anyway, I enjoyed your content, glad you’re feeling better.
Try to rent an Airbnb for less money, You can rent daily, weekly or monthly. Your hotel is too expensive. GET OUT. MOVE TO MEXICO. SENDING WARMTH FROM QUERETARO. Happy I moved to Queretaro in 2021 at 79 for 70% less expensive and safer. PRAYERS sent to my 1942 birth city CHICAGO from Queretaro since 2021. I know that cold weather big time. Thank God for the safety and warmth of this city. RIP. DO NOT ALLOW THE INVADERS TO DESTROY YOU.
Yes! MOST CONSERVATIVE society in Mexico , it’s like the Bible Belt including San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato … ultra conservative and religious. NO THANKS !

Did you find anything? Could you share? Appreciate it. I'm flying down to find my place. Back to CT to sell everything and I'm there!

That intro 🔥 Make that beat drop!
I’m Junior!
Fabulous as always - bangin’ music - favorite for me was at the calendar museum! And what a great place to visit. Get well my friend!
Thank you Sir! Such a unique and cool museum! Currently in Oaxaca and I’m in love!!! But this sun! Its soooo strong!
@@GringoInterrupted We just missed you in Oaxaca! Can’t wait to see your vid from there and compare notes! Be well!
This is great!! Very entertaining and educational!

Muy bonito Queretaro. Tiene lo moderno y lo tradicional juntos. Gracias por tu video. Bendiciones
Si, me gustó mucho la ciudad! Gracias ☺️
For me is the best city from whole country I love Querétaro and you missed La alameda which is another place with history, hope to see you back soon 👍😉
Thank you! There were many other things I wanted to do in QTO, but the Covid fatigue stopped me. Next time!!! Thanks!
Beautiful. Love it.
It is indeed! Thanks for watching!

Oh please sing again❤
Sing local songs!!
You have the *authentic melody in your voice!!❤😂❤
Haha, thank you! 😂
this is the other city i am going to visit in September--I really enjoyed this video!!
Thank you!!! 😊

@@GringoInterrupted Thank you for your public service! ;)
😂
Good job! We enjoyed the many beautiful churches there. The best empanadas in all of Mexico were our favorite food there. Plenty of fantastic bakeries too. I hope you feel better soon . Thanks for sharing. P.S. There is a Korean restaurant downtown... NOT RECOMMENDED.
Haha, message received! Thanks Ronnie!
Love your content! We just left Queretaro for CDMX. We already viewed your CDMX videos.
Awesome! You will love Mexico City! Enormous; so much to do and learn there! I’m glad my videos were useful to you! Have a wonderful time!
@@GringoInterrupted we really love your style. Your videos are educational and we get your humor. Keep up the great work. It is appreciated!
Wow, thank you so much!!! It means a lot!
Back in Sep last year I went to Tikua restaurant, authentic Oaxaca menu and awesome ambience. Staff is bi-lingual in case you don’t speak Spanish.
Nice, thanks for the info! Currently in Oaxaca, overdosing on Mole.
"Where are the naked men?" 🤣 Thanks for the piquant and waggish observations of my adopted city.
Whew, just looked up those words. Thank you! I’m glad you liked it ☺️
3:10, when I was a little kid back in the early 70´´s I used to see that depiction of purgatory and get really scared. My mom used to tell me that´s where all the bad people went.
Yikes, that’s scary. My grandmother had a life size statue of Jesus at the top of her steps with the open heart, pointing his finger. It terrified me.

Ouch! Merida is too hot for me! I just returned from 4 weeks traveling Oaxaca and Chiapas. Getting ready to start editing soon!
@@GringoInterrupted I trust you enjoyed the Oaxacan cacoa.
@ronnielynnholley Yes, it was amazing! I ate Mole almost every night!
Is this the season for that pepper dish? I'm going in two weeks
I believe that particular restaurant serves it all year long. Typically though, it’s Christmas time.
Hey, if the place is closed don't be a reina complaina! LOL! J/k. 😂
@@GringoInterruptedActually the season for chiles en nogada is August and September. It's a dish that celebrates Mexican independence, thus the red white and green of the primary ingredients. 😉
Ah ok, thank you
Me? Complain? Idk what you mean 😉
Is Santiago de Queretaro very large city
It’s pretty large, lots of traffic outside centro, with a population of around 3 million.
I found it hilarious that you said there aren’t many foreigners in QRO. You missed 90% of Queretaro by just staying in Centro. Considering QRO is a huge hub for international manufacturing, there are probably more foreigners in Queretaro than anywhere outside Mexico City.

Why would anyone want to visit a manufacturing plant in Queretaro?
Visit TEQUISQUIAPAN one day, and LA PENA DE BERNAL another day, while visiting Queretaro.
Next time! Thanks! 😊

I hope to meet you some day. Please enjoy your Trip in Mexico.
Thank you!! ☺️
Be aware of mushes!
Your videos are good, and you are adorable and funny. But your music can be overbearing at times though.
Thank you ☺️ I appreciate the input! How is overbearing? The style of music? Too loud? Or just too much of it throughout the video?

Just turn and back home outsider L.M.A.O.
