    I have spent a lot of time in that wonderful city over the years. And I still haven't seen everything that there is to see. The people are friendly and hospitable and there are so many good reasons to go there

      I agree with you! I plan on checking out other parts of the city over the next couple of weeks, but I know I will just be able to scratch the surface.

    I watched your Mexico series of videos and loved them. You show the places and explain very well, thank you so much, most other RUclipsrs keep on filming themselves 100% of the time or showing food, rather than showing the real beauty and attractions of the places. I am planning a trip to Central Mexico with my partners and your videos have been invaluable

    Just returned from Querétaro and loved it. We'd been in Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende and Querétaro, but while my wife preferred San Miguel, I felt most peaceful and unstressed here. Will definitely return.

    Excelent overview of Queretaro culture. You really captured the escence. It would also be nice to see the contrast of the modern side of the city, I've heard there has been a lot of development in the area and it would be great to see that contrast as well.

      That is so kind of you! I actually changed locations today to a suburb east of the city. It is my intention to visit some of the parts of town that are growing over the next couple of weeks. If I get good video, I will try to provide a bit of that contrast.

    How could Mexican real estate prices have gone up so much in recent years? Queretaro used to be cheap. Average incomes in Mexico are only around 10k or so, so most people cannot even remotely pay those asking prices. So who is buying? If compared to income, then Mexican real estate is even much more expensive than here in the US. If you have good advice where to look, pls let me know

    • @oldaloneandfarfromhome
      @oldaloneandfarfromhome  2 месяца назад

      I don't think I have an answer for you in terms of how the average Mexican citizen can afford to live there. All I know is that, yes, prices were cheaper than in the US, but much more expensive than I thought they would be.
