So beautiful! Love your perspective, the creativity added to the videos you produce, the history...top notch. Thank you for sharing our story at CasaELM, but for agreeing to spend the weekend with us. Much appreciated and look forward to seeing you again really soon! Keep enjoying life, everything you are doing to help others and sharing your beautiful travel experiences. Know you are appreciated. Love from us in SMA!
Outstanding video and so well done. I personally love the ocean and mountain vibe, but I would love to visit San Miguel de Allende. Thank you for taking us along! ❤
You have described all around this city just by looking at your video l can imagine how beautiful and charm is this city...all within walkable streets...art galleries..history where at the same time you can see the birds flying around at the same time..nice cafes...restaurants..great atmosphere...everybody is welcomed...it's like a dream town..a little Paris but with better temperatures...nice video..👍
Love seeing Black “You Tubia” together and supporting each other. So glad y’all are back in Mexico. Y’all hitting ALL the spots. Slow down and enjoy too!! 👍🏾
Why can’t it be all races? Can you imagine someone saying love seeing all white RUclipsrs together? How racist would that sound? And it’s ok to say it regarding black? Isn’t that a double standard? It’s just sad..
@@24hrstolive27 We don't see it as a double standard at all. "White" RUclips is already a thing and deeply implied. When you cut on RUclips you do not see ppl of color let alone black couples touring the world. We represent the vanguard and appreciate the love and support. Love is universal and support is personal. As an American who is living in a country that has blatantly trampled over black lives since its inception maybe you don't understand that it's a part of our culture to support eachother in this way. It's OUR culture. Before leaving the states I was the ONLY Black man in the boardrooms at most of my jobs. Anytime another brother or sister was hired (no matter the department or position) I rushed to give them a spirit of solidarity and support (Black Love) because ik how lonely it feels to be someplace that dosent understand your values or perspective. That said we love universally and rep for all who can vibe w/ us. The only thing sad is when ppl have a problem w/ a culture they don't understand....thats a privilege and stance w/ no foundation.
IS SO GREAT TO SEE YOU HAVING A NICE EXPERIENCE LIVING IN SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE . CANT WAIT TO GET BACK TO MÉXICO I'LL BE A FEW MORE MONTHS I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THIS HIGH COST OF LIVING IN USA MY RENT JUST WENT UP AGAIN $ 2000 DLS A MONTH 😢😢 THE STRESS I'M GOING THRU I FEELING SICK EVERYDAY !
That is one of the best restaurants in San Miguel. IThey also own a ranch outside of town called Rancho Luna which is exquisite, whre they grow all their produce, organically, and make their own beer.... A fabulous fabulous restaurant.
Randell that exit from the bar was classically hilarious 🤣 done like a true western cowboy…. All you needed was your gun belt on your hip and a cowboy hat. Love seeing us abroad. It’s Helping me build up my courage to venture out to other parts of MX. Blessings to you guys 🙏🏾
I absolutely love SMA and I did have the privilege of meeting Michelle and staying at her Casa Elm. I made several friends there and I look forward to going back soon.
Oh, yes we hung out with them and some other black creators at Michelle's Influencer weekend. Good ppl, great vibes! Really sincerely got an appreciation for each person....as a person and the work they're doing!
Choosing to make San Miguel de Allende your home offers numerous advantages. This charming Mexican town boasts a rich cultural heritage, stunning colonial architecture, and a vibrant arts scene, making it an ideal place for those seeking a culturally enriched lifestyle. The pleasant climate, with mild winters and warm summers, adds to its appeal. San Miguel de Allende also offers a relatively low cost of living compared to many Western countries, making it an attractive option for retirees and expatriates. Its welcoming community, excellent healthcare facilities, and a range of recreational activities further contribute to the quality of life in this picturesque town. Thanks, THE YARBROS!
Hola, I met you at the Feria de Mezcal and I hope you found food after all that Mezcal! We remembered that there was a Feria de Comida in the Parque Llano in centro that we drove to. Tons of traditional food to eat. I bought a tlayuda and the guy even brought it to me at my table with salsa. They had a band playing and it was very festive. It will be there today too Sabado/ Saturday so I recommend eating there and walking over to see the big parade at 6pm. Have a great time! I resubscribed so I can see your next video. I only watch Mexico RUclipsrs.
Hola Kirby! It was nice meeting you! We did eventually find food but may try to head to the Feria de Comida tonight now that you've mentioned it. Thanks for the recommendation (and for resubscribing). Looking forward to the parade as well!
Thanks for showing us that town/city. It always look beautiful and charming. I had a good friend and her son move there from New Orleans. She knew little about that area except for the computer. She didn't get to explore much as when she got there she broke her ankle and needed surgery. Then Covid hit. She did rent a 2 Bedroon,2 bath house for $800mammonth. She did have to pay some utilities. She told me most were cheaper than the USA. Unfortunately she was diagnosed with cancer and after 3 years left for New Orleans.
Sad story I hope all is well with your friend now. We never advise jumping before you look. If you can do an investigation trip before moving it always helps.
San Miguel de Allende is a beautiful town to visit but not the place for me to live! I’ve been there several times before settling in Morelia where I could call a home. SMA is like a Disney to me, and I could get bored after a while. I hope you guys to return to Morelia again soon…
How is the security situation in Morelia, these days? My wife tweaks out at going to places with elevated State Department classifications. It was all I could do to get her to drive CDMX and Queretaro last year.
Hey folks, what’s up Yarbros? Thank you so much for representing our town and showing off the many things we love about SMA!! You are so right is the Best Small City in Mexico. Even watching the video made me have a smile from ear to ear and just grateful I live in SMA. So sorry we missed you guys however, I know our paths will cross one day.
Whats up yall! Love you channel and all your takes on the black experience in México and the Afromexicans that no one up north knew existed. I love México too and I love how its diversity is being diversifing yet again. Only thing I want to point out is that México is lovely and complex because of its history, culture and mainly because of its people… ancestral and new. For all those who want to make it HOME.. remember to INTEGRATE in this culture and to its people, with your own flavor of course.. but let´s make it a Mexican flavor. Keep up your amazing work. Thanks
Grrat point! We're are trying to put together an episode that centers around just that....assimilating to where you move. If you'd be willing to talk about that on camera please let me know. We'd love to capture it as a part of this series. Either way, thanks for the wisdom!
As always, great, informative and engaging video. My husband and I live In Queretaro and we visited SMA. We felt like you Randell, too many gringos. We love the town, history and culture, however, my husband was bombarded with the locals hustling him. It is one thing to ask for money (which we did give to those who were in need) but it is another thing to be persistent after saying no (very respectfully) many times. It is the opposite In Queretaro, people ask for money, however, when we are not able to give, they are respectful and go on their way. They do not continue to hustle us. It was unfortunate that we had that experience because it left a bad taste in our mouth about the town. My husband and I seem to do better in areas that are more local and indigenous. We are committed to a one year rental lease which expires in May and we will be traveling through Mexico as Nomads. With the help of your great videos throughout the past couple of years, We are very excited to experience the many wonders of Mexico. Thank you for your love and hard work.
Thanks for sharing such beautiful spots in Mexico. It's lovely to see it through a different lens and makes your content very enjoyable! One thing, though -- Mexico is in North America. A couple of times in this video you refer to North America as though Mexico isn't a part of it. Maybe it wasn't intentional ? In any case, I just wanted to put that out there. :)
Thanks! 🤣🤣🤣 I'm aware of Canada, the US and Mexico's positioning...funny thing is we had a huge debate during a live a couple of years ago and Most of MX doesn't believe in North, South or Central America....its just America so now I sometimes intentionally most of the time just me talking exclude them when I'm doing N. America since they don't identify w/ it.... anyway thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate you!
I find it interesting that you are collectively so into SMA. I spent six weeks in Guanajuato, back in 2009. Loved it. I had a travel motorcycle, so I could explore the region and country. The Gringification in SMA really put me off. Prices in dollars on menus, always getting the English menu when you sit down. Start a conversation in Spanish, and have it switched to English. It's like Mexico with training wheels and prices for the privilege. It's nice, but like Santa Fe, NM in Mexico. I thought GTO and QRO were far more authentic.
Thanks for this comment when traveling and trying to live in a place even if just for three months if it all possible, I try to be cognizant of gentrification. When the first Statt came up that one and six people that live in SMA is an Expat the first thing I thought it was “whoa I bet the locals are getting priced out”.
Very informative video. Thanks.... The gentrification and the prices the gringos are willing to pay for everything is simply sad and disgusting. The local people are prices out of their own town
Welcome to the reality of most of the world. Gringos aren't raising prices, that's just propaganda and ignorance. I am the only "gringo" probably in a 2 mile radius in Merida. Guess who's buying and renting these homes? Mexicans who don't want to live in the bad parts of town. Maybe cry about this your friends, because you're totally off base.
Really nice video! I spent a week in San Miguel in September and am headed back this Friday! I love that there is diversity among immigrants/expats. My husband has not visited San Miguel and is a little skeptical about it as a place to live for us because of the large number of gringos. He is a person of color so it made me happy to see that there is a good vibe there in that regard. I just love it, personally! Thank you!
@@TheYarbros We have to second that suggestion. We went to Delores Hidalgo twice and it is a great experience. So much history and it is amazing, only 30 minutes away, but it so flat. Check out the pottery and the ice cream.
I enjoyed this video and love when people can appreciate the city. I do question that it is over run by gringos. That is so not true in my opinion. On the weekends I see mostly Mexican tourists. If you want to see gringos go to Hanks or Bananas restaurants. Cheers!
Love the way you describe SMDA I loved the city the times I´ve been there, also Guanajuato, love that people from other countries come and enjoy and respect our culture, also sometimes learn some good things from it. Your channel is great for people that still "fear" México to not be "afraid" of us, all of us aren´t villains, the good guys, WE are more. If you haven´t been to Mazatlan, try it, vibe and people are different, not in a bad way, the "bad" thing is that it is in Sinaloa, state of pretty much most of the known narcos in the country but still, is a place that deserves to be visited and it is also cheap. Question to you as african americans, Have you experienced racism in México because of the color of your skin? I´m asking this since there is an Afro-Mexican culture donwn in the south. I´m asking this cause I love history and I´d like to know foreigner´s POV on this Love your channel. Enjoy our country :)
Thank you so much for commenting. We have not experienced direct racism while in Mexico. But I really want to know your views. I'd love to interview you sometime to understand what Afro-Mexicans go through here. We were heading to Cuajincuilapa but our plans got canceled. Contact us if you dont mind an interview our email: nomadicyarbro@gmail.com
Just visited for Christmas and new year’s. I didn’t get a negative vibe , except from some of the Americans that were there. I’m not sure if they were permanent expats or visitors. But my god I love San Miguel de Allende! All ready planning to return.
I love SMA and I love The Yarbos and I think Ms Wedderburn has a lot to offer. BUT CAN WE LOOK at 7:28? One person is dressed for a lovely spring day and the other is dressed like she's about to harness up the huskies for a trans-Siberian sled journey! I've never been so conflicted. 😊
Seems very much like a city we cannot really afford. We're seeking smaller pueblas where we can live affordably. Would love to see SMA but giving a hard pass as a place to live.
We try not to over inflate anything on our channel it costs more than most other places in MX and you can definitely get more bang for your dollar in other cities. Best wishes in your hunting!
You might want to check out Guanajuato, it's not too far from SMA, but way more reasonably priced. I befriended a 15-year ex-pat there who's living in a 2 bed/1 bath apartment for $200 a month (yes USD). His place was safe, quiet and had an amazing town view, and his rent incl utilities and internet! A big bene is Guanajuato's Int'l Airport isn't far away from the center of town.
O and yes we are put the withe ot gringo tax now, everything is getting higher so if you think about going be prepared forpay big money and also receive hostility of native people , in a few blocks in the center of the city you will be fine but dont go far because you will know the real mexico

It was wonderful connecting w/ you guys as well. Looking fwd to keeping up w/ your adventures!

Really nice video! I spent a week in San Miguel in September and am headed back this Friday! I love that there is diversity among immigrants/expats. My husband has not visited San Miguel and is a little skeptical about it as a place to live for us because of the large number of gringos. He is a person of color so it made me happy to see that there is a good vibe there in that regard. I just love it, personally! Thank you!
Thank you! I understand where your husband is coming from. There's A Lot of gringos there....
Great place there but I recommend the city of Dolores Hidalgo about an hour away north. It's known for its true Mexico life.
Okay, thanks!
@@TheYarbros We have to second that suggestion. We went to Delores Hidalgo twice and it is a great experience. So much history and it is amazing, only 30 minutes away, but it so flat. Check out the pottery and the ice cream.
I'm from guanajuato, yes yes👍love to see that everyone is welcome, multicultural yes
👍🏽
i Luv the end da T-shirt 4 us By us FBU thanks for visiting my city


Love that intro.
Heyyy glad you appreciate it!
thank you for this video. what does cost of living look like in San Miguel?
It's coming in around $1400 with the bulk if that being housing in or around the Centro area. Get an apt further out and it drops to the $1100 range.
You are welcome home.
😁
Your videos strike me as very professionally produced.
Thank you very much.
Former NBA player and Detroit native, Chris Douglas-Roberts, been out there for years since his NBA career been over.
Dee-troit-Basket-ball! Good times! Thanks for the info!
Those ponchos you guys wear look great. Where did you get them?
Thanks we love em! Got them in Peru.
I enjoyed this video and love when people can appreciate the city.
I do question that it is over run by gringos. That is so not true in my opinion. On the weekends I see mostly Mexican tourists. If you want to see gringos go to Hanks or Bananas restaurants.
Cheers!
Cheers!
PV in da house!
Ayee! I wonder if The Purple P is still open....used to be a restaurant on campus.
Love the way you describe SMDA I loved the city the times I´ve been there, also Guanajuato, love that people from other countries come and enjoy and respect our culture, also sometimes learn some good things from it.
Your channel is great for people that still "fear" México to not be "afraid" of us, all of us aren´t villains, the good guys, WE are more. If you haven´t been to Mazatlan, try it, vibe and people are different, not in a bad way, the "bad" thing is that it is in Sinaloa, state of pretty much most of the known narcos in the country but still, is a place that deserves to be visited and it is also cheap.
Question to you as african americans, Have you experienced racism in México because of the color of your skin? I´m asking this since there is an Afro-Mexican culture donwn in the south. I´m asking this cause I love history and I´d like to know foreigner´s POV on this
Love your channel.
Enjoy our country :)
Thank you so much for commenting. We have not experienced direct racism while in Mexico. But I really want to know your views. I'd love to interview you sometime to understand what Afro-Mexicans go through here. We were heading to Cuajincuilapa but our plans got canceled. Contact us if you dont mind an interview our email: nomadicyarbro@gmail.com
@@TheYarbros email has been sent!
Just visited for Christmas and new year’s. I didn’t get a negative vibe , except from some of the Americans that were there. I’m not sure if they were permanent expats or visitors. But my god I love San Miguel de Allende!
All ready planning to return.
Uhhh Rondell, can you explain to me why you were sippin out of a shot glass?😂
😆 That's the proper way to drink Mezcal around here. How you let the locals know that you know...
I love SMA and I love The Yarbos and I think Ms Wedderburn has a lot to offer. BUT CAN WE LOOK at 7:28? One person is dressed for a lovely spring day and the other is dressed like she's about to harness up the huskies for a trans-Siberian sled journey! I've never been so conflicted. 😊
THAT CITY IS NICE BUT I NEED TO LIVE BY THE OCEAN....🌊🌊🌊...BUT I JUST WILL VISIT....🤔🤔🤔🤔
I understand that!
☆☆☆☆☆love you guys☆☆☆☆☆
Thanks!!!
Seems very much like a city we cannot really afford. We're seeking smaller pueblas where we can live affordably. Would love to see SMA but giving a hard pass as a place to live.
We try not to over inflate anything on our channel it costs more than most other places in MX and you can definitely get more bang for your dollar in other cities. Best wishes in your hunting!
You might want to check out Guanajuato, it's not too far from SMA, but way more reasonably priced. I befriended a 15-year ex-pat there who's living in a 2 bed/1 bath apartment for $200 a month (yes USD). His place was safe, quiet and had an amazing town view, and his rent incl utilities and internet! A big bene is Guanajuato's Int'l Airport isn't far away from the center of town.
@@btjazzfann Yes, we've been there. Beautiful city and awesome history but not quite urban enough for me.
O and yes we are put the withe ot gringo tax now, everything is getting higher so if you think about going be prepared forpay big money and also receive hostility of native people , in a few blocks in the center of the city you will be fine but dont go far because you will know the real mexico
