- Is Tepatitlán the güero capitol of Mexico? Is Tepa a town or a city? I found a lot of cool things including huipiles, piñatas, traditional sweets and very friendly people eager to show me their corner of Mexico. I enjoyed this random Mexican town. I hope you do too!

This is my hometown, and watching your video warmed up my heart. I loved seeing the centro and remembering all the great memories there. Great video!
You are guera lol
My dads family is from there too.👍
Me too and my last name is de la torre are we related?
Oh, the memories! I spent my teenage years there in the mid-1990s. The last time I was there was in 2016, who knows when I'll be back. Thank you for making this video and taking me back to Tepa, where my parents still live. I would say Tepa is in between being a town and being a city. However, if you ask people from Guadalajara, they would definitely say it is a "pueblo"! :D And yes, you do look like a local. :)
U will be back this mount a tepabril you are envire n don't worry be happy thats no other way to be hapines ❤🎉😂 desde Chicago Illinois USA TO TEPA JALISCO Y MEXICO DE MIS AMORES❤❤❤.
My family is from nearby Atotonilco el Alto. I love Los Altos Sur. Great people. Beautiful people.
I love how much Tepa has grown since I left in the mid 2000s; I’ve noticed every time I’ve visited. Can’t wait to be back!
Hello friend thanks thats is tepa my town this mount of April is the tepabril festival❤🎉😢.
Mi hermoso Tepatitlán espero la hallas pasado súper bien en nuestra ciudad ☺️
Hi, I’m here to answer the saltine question. It’s very popular in seafood restaurants! People will usually put mayo on the saltine cracker or tostada and then put some sort of ceviche or seafood item on top. So yummy, miss my hometown 😍
Thanks for sharing!! As I don't eat fish it was off my radar. Saludos!
Thanks for the video. Is actually a city. The reason why you don’t see a lot’s of GUEROS is because now you have lots of outsiders NOT from Tepatitlán. But if you go to other small towns in that region you will see more white people and tall.
@Matias D.C no manches 😂
Like which smaller towns? And are they safe for women?
Who cares. Y'all so obsessed with trying to be white.
Muchas gracias por éste trabajo tan interesante, porque presentó lugares que representan a Tepatitlan de Morelos.
Felicidades
My parents beautiful home town❤️ Brings back so many wonderful memories! Thanks!
You are doing a great job! Keep them coming.
Hola buenas tardes! I just saw your video. Tepatitlán is a city with a mentality of a town. People here are known as Tepatitlenses. I wouldn’t classify Tepa as the capital of the güeros because within the last decades a whole lot of people from the southern states of Mexico have migrated to this city. Including me from the United States. Although the whole region of Los Altos were settled by the French and Spanish, therefore many towns in the region the güeros are visible. An interesting time to visit Tepa is in late April when the Fiestas del Sr de la Misericordia are held. Hope this answers your questions. Have a great day.
You're a legend! That's so cool! I didn't know whether to call it a town or a city but that's exactly the vibe I got that it's a city with the mentality of a town! Thanks for commenting and subscribing!
You’re welcome. 😊
FYI: No French ancestry in Los Altos De Jalisco. Please share your source.

This video makes me happy! I really loved the part when you purchased the dulces from the young girl! when conversations are half Spanish and half English it is great! I enjoy having a "Spanglish" conversation with people that are willing to bravely speak the small amount of English they know while I am stretching my Spanish skills! :) When travel restrictions are lifted I hope you are able to travel to Puebla City to enjoy the French Culture and Architecture th
Thanks for sharing the video. My in-laws are from Tepatitlan. My mother in law says that Tepa has been officially designated a city and it has is own university.
Thank you for sharing my mother’s home town. My mom passed 2 years ago but every time there was a video on RUclips I’d show it to her. My grandfather has bronze statue in the plaza

You forgot to visit “Punto la Gloria”
Los portales
Tepatitlan is a meaning from nahuatl. In English means: Hard Rock Land!
Que padre te gusta Tepatitlán Tepetitlán es muy bonito y tiene muchas muchachas bonitas y mucho que a mirar de donde yo soy son casi 30 minutos en camino de un pueblo que se llama Mezcala de los romeros Jalisco
Mi hermoso tepa como a crecido mi ciudad de Tepatitlan de Morelos jalisco tengo hermosos recuerdos de mi Tepa querido muchas gracias x este bello video de tepa espero y te haya gustado saludos a mis paisanos
Yo pensaba que era el único que realmente extrañaba mi tepa precioso y los recuerdos tan bonitos que tuve de niñez alli... mi primer escuela llegando a vivir a tepa de los Estados Unidos fue la eta de jardines..después la José cornejo Franco y depue la prepa de los altos allá para los portales ... yo crecí viviendo a un lado del el parque del beso pero anduve por toda la ciudad caminando desde chamaquito porque antes uno podía andar alas 3 de la madrugada en la calle jugando futbol y nadie te hacía ni te decía nada .. desafortunadamente ya no es lo mismo que era cuando yo era niño por todo eso del crimen organizado..pero mi tepa sigue siendo el pueblo más hermoso del mundo... hace 2 años que fui y esta muy diferente pero aún hermoso..extraño las calles empedradas
my parents hometown ❤️
i just seen your video, I actually live in Tepatitlán and it's a beautiful small city! great video👌
The natives were called Tecuexes not Tepehuanes. But yeah theres constant development of the land in the outskirts and it owns several districts in the region. You should go when it gets packed its worth it
I am from Tepatitlan!!! ✌🏼
Hey man, I have loads of family in tepa. It's honestly a very beautiful Pueblo in my opinion, am here in tepa right now. This is a fake name I use, I am apart of the Venegas family.
Just found your vlog. Very interesting! I'm in Chapala, Jalisco. Do I detect a touch of Argentine Spanish?
Cool thanks for subscribing! There's no Argentinian Spanish from me. I lived in Chile for a year and a half but even though they share a border their Spanish is very different
Casi bas a llegando a jardines De villa rivera tepa.
Tepa is a small city with a small town vibe. People from Tepatitlan are referred to as “Tepatitlenses” or “Alteños”. There’s a few songs dedicated to Tepa such as “Las Alteñitas” and “Esos Altos de Jalisco” there are a lot of light skin complexion people, but the town has grown exponentially within the last few years where there are now more outsiders due to the big Agriculture and Game. Once it’s permitted and if you’re up to visit some good Fiestas the ones in Tepa are some of the best by far! It is internationally to where I’ve seen many different ethnicities make it out to see what Tepatitlan has to offer
I was supposed to be there this June 23rd 😭😭 F covid
i was gona go for april but covid to l😭😭
Was just there last week!
I'm coming to GDL in August.
cool!
Hello! Just came across your video and enjoyed it very much. Both of my parents are from Tepa and it is a great place to visit. Tepa has had a huge influx of people moving here from all over the country so most people who live there now are not true locals. My understanding is that the whole region of “Los Altos” has many lighter skinned Mexicans. I hope you return to do another tour and maybe you can meet with someone who might have more history to share with you. Hope you stay safe right now.
I can understand why people are moving there. I really enjoyed my visit! :D
There’s more gueros in sinaloa. Sonora chihuahua, Durango , ramones Nuevo León ,Tamaulipas, Don’t get wrong there’s is gueros in Los Altos but not like the other states that I mention
Arriba mi bonito tepa
Not just a random town, mother side is from Tepa, a very special place.
oh man, if you walked down south from the plaza, you would have walked to a church that has a very nice looking interior, more so than the main church at the plaza. Next to it is also a free museum that's also pretty interesting to check out. It was funny seeing you walk by my grandmothers house in this vid!
You are correct Tepatitlan has a lot of lighter skin people. My mom was born in Tepatitlan Jalisco and my grandpa was lighter skinned with blue eyes. I have cousins who are gingers as well. I did my ancestry and it showed that 55% of my dna is from Spain.
Saludos desde mi hermoso Tepatitlán 🤗🥰
Hey colibrí. Ven en tepabril te lo recomiendo i am From Tepa Te la vas a pasar muy bien bro
Right on, the family of the wife is from Tepatitlán, i am glad you're enjoyed such a place. To me is a small pueblo, in my opinion
I never knew who my great-grandfather was, because he was married to another woman when my grandpa was born, but I did a DNA test and it said I was part Spanish, part indigenous Mexican. I was shocked because I look so white! Well, I was connected with a second cousin who also took a DNA test (a grandson from his first family) and found out he was from Tepa... All my Mexican friends laughed like "well that's why you're so pale!" ☺️
My mom has light brown hair and green eyes from El Valle de Guadalupe, Jalisco and she even looks Mexican. So you def look Mexican. Just saying.
Love the town !
I don't know why people say that ALL people are Gueros in Los Altos. It just the ratio is a little higher than other areas in Mexico. But it happens in several places, like Sonora or even in Guadalajara. If you go to Puerta d Hierro or Colinas d S Javier, or CDMX in Santa Fe, Pedregal, etc. or Monterrey in San Pedro Garza Garcia. Because most of the rich people in Mexico are white. When the Europeans arrived they took control of the land and resources with the forced complicity of some indigenous liders (caciques) that they also got rich and pass their rich state to their next generations.
Hello my friend nice job I like you to invite you to my village very close the tepatitlan my city is Jalostotitlán el corazón de Los Altos de Jalisco I recommend the carnival five days before Wednesday of ash for sure you get fun thank you 🙏
The tostadas and saltines you saw at the food stand are to accompany Mariscos, like cocteles.
Thank you Juan R for becoming my first patron at patreon.com/colibritravel. What is considered the size of a city where you live and what is the size of a town? Have you ever been to Tepatitlán? Where should I go next?!?
Actually most people in Los Altos region of Jalisco are descendants of the Spanish people from the colonial era, the people there rarely ever moved and they mixed
0:37 that was my aunt and cousin lmaoo
Small World
Saw my tip lol
It's a city. I saw on the map there is a Walmart!
This is my moms hometown and it’s a beautiful town! I love visiting!❤️ my moms grandparents were from France and my mother told me she was very light skin and had blue eyes! my moms mother had green eyes and I have an uncle and a couple of tias with colored eyes that came down from my grandparents were all light in skin and my sister has green eyes and very light in skin color! That gene skipped me though! 😫
Read a little History, no French ancestry in Los Altos, people were mostly white and blond because the Spanish settlers in Los Altos De Jalisco were descendants of the Suevi and the Celts in Northwestern Spain. Do a little research on the Suevi Kingdom and the Celts in Galicia, Spain. No French surnames in the Los Altos region, only Spanish.
.
San Tiago do more research, there definitely were many French settlers in Los Altos and throughout Jalisco. When they arrived they would change their last name to assimilate quicker into the Spanish culture and avoid any type of persecution.
You mostly visited the old historic downtown of Tepa , I would say that it is a small City , with a rural vibe , 50 years ago there were more light skinned people than now , green eyes , even blue eyes , nowadays it is a more mixed population , you know, immigrants from other Mexico regions and even from Central America , many people likes there and stay forever , there's a lot of work opportunities, the weather is great , people can easily adapt to life there , far from the stress of the big Cities , and yet you can get almost that you need there , I spent my youthful years going to that place in search a good girl , marriage material , I wasn't that lucky though , lol , 😂😂😥
I hope you’re at least tipping or supporting these small businesses it’s only fair for the time and stories they spend with you! :)
Con los cocteles.de camarones ..o pulpo .te sirven la galletas .salt crackeds
I believe they call us Alteños and people from Guadalajara are called Tapatios..
75 percent of the Mexican population is mestizo, that is, of mixed race, mainly Mexican and Spanish, only that in the center and south of the country, people have more original Mexican blood than in the North, European blood wins there, but there are ´´guero´´ people over all the country,.. althought in less proportion.

Nice video
thanks!
Maybe I'm biased, but I would argue that the "guero" capitol of Mexico are in the northern '"altos" of Jalisco. Yeah you have them as well in the southern "altos" region, but more so from what I've seen in the north.
Tepatitlan is so much larger than Guadalajara. Tepatitlán's population is not accurate. Fluctuates over 300, 000 residents. This includes its municipality's 7 delegations.
Thanks for sharing a bit of my hometown. I’d like to confirm ur comment about city expansion sizes. The city has it tittle since 1883. It’s a small city near to a big one which absorbs Tepatitlenses and also there’s a high migration to US since “braseros” time. Around 1950’s the region start becoming popular in Mexico, then the 70’s worldwide economic boom turn it pretty much in what u have seen. There where no French population, there are no last names or any cultural habit remaining from French culture, what I’m so sure that as conservative the living is in, the habits and names for sure will be shown. The indigenous population was very affected by diseases and many lives were lost, around 80%, turning Spanish colonizers into the mayor population in the area and making them work hard cause there where not people to slavery. The imaginarium about blonde people is bigger than reality, what is true is that people in the area is lighter skin than the regular, and as well, from the imaginarium about Mexicans darks skin. We’re Mexican and that means a mix, mainly by Spanish people and the many local cultures by the time. The salty cr$&@ at the Mercado is for sea food, to pair “coctel de camarones” is like a cold shrimps broth, could be octopus and clams, it’s really good and fresh for hangover, I believe is a Sinaloa. Sea food is not very friend of tortillas around there. Keep exploring México, it’s fun! Good luck
This is my hometown as well. The loss of indigenous population was actually much greater, according to some historians in the region. The Mixtón War left 1/5th of the indigenous population. The European diseases left 1/5th of the 1/5th that remained. So only about 4% of the indigenous population survived. For centuries, the same families from Spain that arrived in Los Altos remained in the region. They often would marry cousins together in order to keep wealth within the family, which led to high infantile death rates, down syndrome, and a recently discovered variant of Alzheimer's disease that is unique to the region. Because the region was populated mostly by the same colonial families for centuries, the people of the region did tend to look predominantly European up until maybe 30 years ago, when many outsiders from other parts of Mexico began moving to the region due to it having one of the better economies in México. the demographic is incredibly different there now than it was when I was a kid, not to mention when compared to my parent's time. Unfortunately, the mix of outsiders and a desire to "Americanize" everything has caused many of our traditions to dwindle, especially in the bigger 'cities' like Tepatitlán. Many of the smaller towns in the region still hang on to those traditions. As mentioned before, there were alot more güeros before the rush of outsiders, but the majority of the Spanish colonizers were from Andalucía, which was conquered by the vandals which were anglo, and later ruled by the Moors (Arabs of North Africa) who also brought slaves from Greece and italy. There were some spaniards from other regions, like the basque region and Galicia. But again, because most were Andalusian, it was not uncommon to see families with children who were blonde with blue or green eyes, and also children that were darker with brown, blue, or green eyes and dark hair, all from the same two parents. Two parents of darker skin tone and brown eyes and black hair could have a child with blonde hair and blue eyes due to genetics, and we still see it today. Also, one must never deny that we are proudly Mexican, and thus still have indigenous DNA in us, however minimal it may be. We still get most of our food, music, culture, and traditions from the mestizaje that occurred in Mexico. So, while traditional Alteños tend to be of mostly European genealogy with varying degrees of indigenous ancestry, we are genetic mutts if you consider the diversity of Andalucía. As far as the French ancestry goes, I read that there isn't much historical evidence of that in the region. There was a garrison of French soldiers stationed in Tepatitlán during the invasion and occupation in the mid 1800s, but many of those were said to be soldiers brought in from France's colonies and likely weren't actually from France. That being said, my paternal last name is Ruezga, which is French Basque. While Ruesga with an "S" is from El Valle De Ruesga, a region bordering the Basque region in Spain. My other last names are Garcia González Paredes, all of which are clearly Spanish. Going further back, I am also De La Mora, Lozano, Alcalá, Gutierrez, Martín... My wife, who is from the nearby town of Jalostotitlán, is a blue-eyed, blonde haired güera whose family has been traced back to the Basque region of Spain. But like many Alteño families, she has blond siblings with blue and brown eyes and brunette siblings with brown eyes, and neither of her parents have blue or green eyes. Any way, it's a long comment but I am always happy and proud to speak about my region. Thank you for your video!
Los Altos region in general is the guero capitol haha, my mother's from los altos and most of my family from there are white, my grandfather is brown but guess what? In my genealogical tree I found he's descendant of arabs/jewish, spanish and portuguese
People from tepa are just Mexican .! My friends live there right now .
If you have time, you should visit my home town, Ixtlahuacan del Rio
AHUEVO!!!! Lol
Es una siudad pequeña por que tepa tiene 174 mil 400 abigantes eso es de acuerdo al ultimo senso
City
Im from Tepa and is a city of 650k people with mentality of a town major egg producer in Mexico like you said, and also in tequila as well, quote me on that unless there is another city that produces and exports more now. Also people from Tepa are called Alteños, alteño for male and alteña for females. If you want i can show you around next time and give you a more detailed explanation and tour, mi casa es tu casa
Te viste muy barbero, mejor ni digas que eres de Tepa, y además mal informado; de dónde sacaste que en Tepa hay 650 mil habitantes? No creo que el número llegue a 150 mil siquiera. Deja de fumar esa cosa, te va a dañar más el cerebro.

Bueno es que alomejor tu no conoces Pegueros, Capilla, Valle de Guadalupe y sus otros alrededores y crees que Tepatitlan solo es el centro jaja, tu ni fumar ocupas, y la invitación es por que yo tambien ago videos y a lo que se ve el va empezando con el canal y una colaboración no cae mal, pero veo que eres de esos perdedores que creen que otra gente es barbera al ser buena onda o al ser amables etc etc, y por eso troleas ya que tu vida y autoestima depende de eso, y de andar criticando, saludos y espero y siempre te valla bien la vida y que lo que agas lo agas bien
According to the 2010 Census by INEGI,[2] the municipality has a population of 625,123, of which 304,377 live within the city limits of the municipal seat, Tepatitlán, and the rest in the outlying communities and ranches. The city is the state's seventh-largest incorporated community and serves as a significant city outside of the capital, providing the most important university in the region of Los Altos, and an important economic and business center. Around 81% of the population of the municipality is urban, concentrated mostly in the municipal seat, and other large towns. The annual growth rate is at about 18.9%, placing it among the fastest growing populations in the state of Jalisco.

No masks!! What is the weather like there? Great video. Thanks!
This was in March their went any cases in Jalisco just like 2 in Mexico City
In Mexico people don’t really pay attention to skin color. That’s an American thing. People classify each other as Mexican and that’s where it ends . If they’re born there, they’re Mexican. I only say this because I noticed you actually acknowledged the skin tone of people and the woman in the painting. I encourage you to look past skin tone and think of all Mexicans as just that, Mexicans. Not “white Mexicans” or “indigenous Mexicans” they are all mixed. I think it’s actually rude and that’s why I disliked your video because why go into detail about someone’s skin? It’s 2021 I thought we were PAst that. They all share the same language and culture.
8:07 se escucha la del peso gritando! 😂
Así es, si entras a cualquier lugar y no hablas (para que la gente no detecte tu acento al hablar) la gente te saludará en español porque no te verían como extranjero, no se les hace raro ver gente como tú en los pueblos y ciudades de Los Altos De Jalisco, pasarías como un lugareño.

Y los güeros donde están?
ESOS ALTOS DE JALISCO
Yo vivo en tepa
Your the only guero i saw in the whole video so i don't know why they say there's a lot of gueros there.
Los Altos de Jalisco?
Because they exist...just how black Mexicans exist but somehow people only care about the white boring looking ones. My parents are from jalostotitlan where there are many blonde mexicans and pale mexicans with more european phenotypes. I don't see the big fuss people make about them though. There are also indigenous people there but an overwhelming population look like me or lighter. Nothing special I would say 💁. Maybe because indigenous features are far more appealing to me.
In Tepa it is far more diverse than in smaller regions like Jalostotitlan.
Saltines are for the mariscos ! Mhmmm 👍🏻
Puro puente de palo PDP
Uhhhhh...?
Never actually been to Tepa. In Latin America, people bear their mother's maiden name. So they basically have "two last names." So my second last name is actually Ontiveros. It's quite rare (at least in Jalisco). I didn't know this last name is spelled "Hontiveros" in Spain. Very interesting. 👍
That guy was a fountain on knowledge!
Ontiveros is quite rare for you, but not in Jalisco.

@@s1gmundfr3ud I'm from Jalisco. Never met (nor heard of) anyone with that last name. Not once. In any case, my maternal grandfather (whom I get this last name from) was from Durango.
@@miguelidcomm : Well, I had a couple of school-mates and a neighbor family with that surname across the street from my house in Tepa. You are not from Los Altos, that explains why you are not familiar with that surname, and I should have written "not in Los Altos" instead of not in Jalisco in my reply.
